Watch Valley's CEO, Ira Robbins, on CNBC’s Power Lunch where he shared his optimism about the economic outlook.
Even with continued pressure coming from inflation, the geopolitical environment, and the upcoming presidential election, I remain optimistic about the current economic environment. With the projection that the Fed will begin to cut rates, I expect a strong tailwind to ease pressures facing the financial system, which will in turn open many new opportunities when it comes to borrowing for things like business expansion, buying a home, and more. I am particularly encouraged by Valley Bank's growth in our Commercial & Industrial (C&I) lending, which has expanded by 16% this past quarter. This growth is a testament to our commitment to supporting businesses and fostering economic development. I shared my optimism on the current environment today on the Power Lunch on CNBC. https://lnkd.in/eYBkdDTx
