Previous report
The Federal Open Market Committee concluded its May 2025 meeting with the Federal Reserve maintaining its target range for the federal funds rate at 4.25%-4.50%, as expected. This was the third consecutive meeting that the Federal Reserve held interest rates steady, based in part on concerns over the potential impact of tariffs. The FOMC updated its statement to reflect its view that risks to both of its mandates, the potential for higher unemployment and higher inflation, have risen. We believe that a healthy labor market, with unemployment low at 4.2%, likely gives the Fed some flexibility to further assess the potential impact of tariffs on inflation and the economy before implementing changes to the federal funds rate. Inflation has been approaching the Federal Reserve's 2.0% target, but tariffs are expected to result in at least a one-time rise in prices. The central bank’s preferred gauge, personal consumption expenditure, showed headline inflation at 2.3%.

We qualitatively adjust the model results based on this scenario for various risk factors that are not considered within our modeling processes but are nonetheless relevant in assessing the expected credit losses within our loan pools. These Q-Factor adjustments are based upon management judgment and current assessment as to the impact of risks related to changes in lending policies and procedures; economic and business conditions; loan portfolio attributes and credit concentrations; and external factors, among other things, that are not already fully captured within the modeling inputs, assumptions and other processes. Management assesses the potential impact of such items within a range of severely negative impact to positive impact and adjusts the modeled expected credit loss by an aggregate adjustment percentage based upon the assessment. The qualitative factor adjustment at March 31, 2025, was approximately 63 basis points of total loans, increasing slightly from 62 basis points at December 31, 2024. The Q-Factor adjustment at March 31, 2025 was based primarily on declining credit quality indicators and increased collateral valuation risks within the commercial real estate secured loan segments.
