Economic Commentary
Bank Earnings: Comparing the Extremes
Much concern has been expressed in financial circles about bank earnings, credit and interest-rate risks, and bank failures over the last few years. Since 1981, the number of bank failures has escalated because many institutions have been saddled with an increasing volume of bad loans and other problems.
The views authors express in Economic Commentary are theirs and not necessarily those of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland or the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
