"Today's interest rate environment continues to be challenging to the banking industry. The steep increases in interest rates have resulted in higher mortgage rates, which caused many potential homebuyers to hesitate before buying a home. These developments have led to lower loan volumes and higher interest costs, which have impacted our net interest margins. We are being diligent in controlling our expenses as we work through this current interest rate environment. Competition for deposits and pricing are impacting financial performance across the banking industry, and while we expect our net interest margins to continue decreasing through the remainder of 2023, our focus remains on maintaining our solid asset quality. We have strengthened our liquidity levels and have been able to maintain our strong capital levels, which are above regulatory required levels" said Allan Kitagawa, Chairman and CEO.
