- The funding structure of community banking organizations_ (CBOs) has shifted throughout the last few years. Following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020, balance sheet trends were largely characterized by extraordinary deposit growth. Core deposits, which exclude brokered deposits or time deposits above the $250,000 insurance limit, grew $518 billion, or 29 percent, across 2020 and 2021.
- As a result of this unprecedented deposit growth, CBOs decreased their reliance on wholesale and noncore funding sources. Specifically, FHLB borrowings and brokered deposits declined 42 percent and 22 percent, respectively, during the same aforementioned two years of strong core deposit growth. However, some banks did take advantage of unique pandemic-era funding programs including the PPPLF and MMLF, accounting for the increase in other borrowings in 2020.
- Beginning in early 2022, funding needs increased due to strong loan growth, and deposit pricing was pressured upwards in line with rising market rates. While CBOs have held an abundance of liquid assets throughout the last few years, many asset-based liquidity options are limited by large unrealized loss positions in available-for-sale securities._ As a result of these trends, banks have taken on more noncore funding this year. CBOs have primarily looked to short-term_ FHLB borrowings and brokered deposits, which have increased $32 billion and $22 billion, respectively, year-to-date.
