Elevated deposit costs and fixed-rate loans originated in a lower interest rate environment dampened banks’ net interest margins in 2024. While 2024 proved to be a challenging year, reasons for optimism surfaced in Q4. The Fed’s pivot to lowering interest rates and the ushering in of a new Presidential Administration present opportunity for margin expansion and reduced regulatory burden. With tailwinds expected to accelerate community bank performance in 2025, join as we discuss the factors that place community banks on the edge of action toward renewed profitability in 2025. Community banks continue to serve as the anchors of financial access and wellbeing in their communities, so we look forward to engaging in substantive conversations around the strength of community banking.
