Q & A Highlights
Q: How do you view the current deposit environment and its impact on net interest income (NII)? A: Dermot Mcdonogh, CFO, explained that Q1 deposits were in line with expectations, with some moderation from the seasonally strong Q4. Despite recent market volatility, there has been a slight increase in deposits, but not as significantly as during the regional bank crisis two years ago. The strength of BNY Mellon's balance sheet and liquidity is recognized, but a major flight to quality has not yet occurred.
