- The net interest margin decreased by 110 basis points year-over-year to 5.9%, primarily due to sensitivity to interest rates and asset liability mix.
- Loan growth was below historical rates, with a total increase of only 5.4% year-over-year, partly due to intentional reductions in government and mortgage portfolios.
