Don led the discussion on the challenges facing the industry from current monetary and fiscal policies, the impact on the industry as current levels of support from the government abate with particular emphasis on the consumer and commercial lending, the effects of competition on bank lending activities, and the stresses on bank performance deriving from continued tight spreads and the diminishing impact of PPP loans among other factors.

NYLIB hosted an in-person dinner on August 18, 2021, at the Avra Madison restaurant that was attended by a number of our banking friends. Although there was not a set program, the conversation followed the lines of what’s next for the economy, the challenges posed by courts and legal processes in New York State to collection efforts, the state of the commercial real estate market in the tri-state area, the various approaches taken to return to the office/work from home, and the challenges and opportunities presented by the continued consolidation in the community banking industry. In compliance with NYC requirements for restaurants, all participants were vaccinated.
Participants had the opportunity to reconnect with folks in the industry and to meet and get to know banking executives whom they had not met before. The feedback from the bank executives that attended was uniformly positive.
