We have been working on deploying excess liquidity through increased lending activity and other short-term investments. We remain optimistic as COVID-19 restrictions have been lifted resulting in increase business for our commercial customers. With the suppression of interest rates at the federal level, net interest margin compression, felt industry wide, offset by efficiencies, reductions in expenses associated with foreclosed properties, and origination fees received on the Small Business Administration’s Payroll Protection Program loans, have delivered the improved performance compared to the same period in 2020.
