Noncurrent loans are 0.72% of the book, 7th of 9 against a median of 0.54%; 0.11% is 30 to 89 days past due, and the allowance covers them 2.3 times. Commercial real estate is 19.6% of loans, 2nd of 9 against a median of 21.9%, and 33% of capital, below the 300% screen, with construction at 12% against the 100% screen. CRE has grown +64.3% over 36 months, past the guidance's 50% prong.
Return on assets is 1.53%, 4th of 9 against a median of 1.15%, on an efficiency ratio of 52.0%, 4th of 9. Five years ago it was 1.05%. The question this shape raises is what the liquidity earns, and what a rate path does to the securities book and the deposit base.
