| And I think more in the Northeast, you're going to see problems emerging with multifamily property loans just based on higher cap rates, interest rates |
| I think my own sense is that they'll be a little cautious and patient, but that the bias is still towards another one or two increases until there is a sense that inflation is more under control, and it remains stubbornly high and high inflation is a very difficult road to navigate in the -- in most all industries, but certainly in financial services |
| There continues to be an awful lot of pressure in the office and hospitality space |
| I think we're still seeing both here and in the industry pressures from higher interest rates and competition on deposit accounts |
| So I just anticipate that area is going to have a fair amount of pressure in the time ahead |
| But it's a difficult time of both high interest rates after an extended period of -- ultra-low interest rates and high inflation, combined probably not seen since -- probably since I started in banking, which was 100 years ago |
| But I would say there's still some potential downward pressure in a scenario where rates stay pretty much as they are |
| How does that scenario affect your margin or your spread? And when will it bottom out with that scenario? Thomas O'Brien I think there's still some pressure to come in the current quarter and maybe the quarter after |
| It's a very uncertain time just in terms of what's available for us to do |
| But it's a little hard for us to project that |
| Even as we get into the fourth quarter, it doesn't seem like an awful lot is changing |
