Agencies look to update statement on CRE loan accommodations, workouts
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, FDIC and National Credit Union Administration are seeking public comment on an updated policy statement regarding accommodations and workouts for commercial real estate loans whose borrowers are experiencing financial difficulty.
The policy statement was first adopted in 2009, while the updated statement would include changes on short-term loan accommodations, more information about changed accounting principles, and revisions/additions to examples of CRE loan workouts.

State Banking Department discusses FDIC’s Skip-A-Payment program position
The Oklahoma State Banking Department issued a statement this weekend concerning the FDIC’s position on the Skip-A-Payment program.
The OSBD has yet to receive any complaints on the program, although the FDIC has recently determined it is “unfair and deceptive” unless accompanied by “clear and adequate disclosures.”

Banks could face headache in reverse repo area
The trillions of dollars in overnight cash tucked away daily at the Federal Reserve could turn into a major headache for banks according to an analysis story via Reuters today.
The Fed is paying a record reverse repo rate of 2.3% following its 75-basis-point interest rate hike last week. Barclays expects daily reverse repo levels to hit between $2.8 trillion and $3.0 trillion by the end of the year.
