However, board members expressed their concerns about the potential of government policy and regulation negatively impacting the performance of all CRE finance-related business, up from just 13% in the first quarter to 30% this quarter.

While we move further into a period of recovery across the industry, I look forward to the continued insights and perspective of our board.”
