Webinars

A Conversation on Commercial Real Estate (CRE)
Loans with Elevated Risk

How should bankers and examiners view post-pandemic market
conditions when assessing the condition of a bank’s CRE loan
portfolio? CRE properties continue to benefit from a healthy
economy, including robust job growth, strong consumer spending,
and available credit. However, some office and multi-family
properties face challenges from oversupply, lower rental rates, and higher operating expenses. Therefore,
examiners and bankers face challenging conversations in assessing CRE loan performance, the market
value of a property, risk ratings, and determination of the allowance of loan losses.

On August 6th, Federal Reserve System staff will present information to aid examiners and bankers in their
discussions about performance drivers for CRE loans, prudent CRE loan accommodations and workouts,
CRE loan classifications, collateral valuation requirements, and current expected credit losses (CECL)
considerations.
