Banks headquartered within the 12th Federal Reserve District continued to recover from severe recession as reflected in improved profitability, capital adequacy and asset quality. CAMELS ratings assigned by bank examiners reflect these improvements with the average rating for all District banks down to 2.8 from a record high 3.0 in early 2011 (lower is better). In good times, CAMELS ratings average at or below the “satisfactory” threshold of “2”.

Posted March 2011

12th District banks continued to struggle, losing money on average in the 4Q10 with loan quality problems weighing heavily. The potential for higher losses on income property loans remain a concern, with 60% of District banks already having less-than-satisfactory CAMELS ratings. Yet, positive trends in capital, earnings, and asset quality (in general) provide reasons for optimism in 2011.
