Summary
Commercial real estate remains a challenge despite the Fed's Bank Term Funding Program calming the sector.
On today’s episode of “The Breakdown,” NLW looks at the debate raging on Twitter about whether the banking crisis is actually over. $390 billion in deposits left U.S. banks last month – the most ever in a single month – but the bleeding seems to have been stemmed. Still, many are looking uncomfortably at commercial real estate loans coming due as another source of trouble for the same small and regional banks that were under the gun last month.
“The Breakdown” is written, produced and narrated by Nathaniel Whittemore aka NLW, with editing by Michele Musso and research by Scott Hill. Jared Schwartz is our executive producer and our theme music is “Countdown” by Neon Beach. Music behind our sponsor today is “Foothill Blvd” by Sam Barsh. Image credit: by CoinDesk.
