Welcome to the Spring 2022 issue of the Curinos Review.
We knew the world would look very different from the publication of our last issue, but we had no idea how different. Inflation is now at a 40-year high with no signs of retreat. The COVID-19 pandemic has eased dramatically in the U.S., but there is troubling news of another variant in other parts of the world. And the eruption of crisis in Ukraine has resulted in global international sanctions and devastating loss.
This issue of the Curinos Review is called “Pick Your Path” because there’s no one-size-fits-all solution to the challenges that accompany higher rates. While financial institutions typically benefit from this environment, the situation is complicated. Large institutions that are flush with deposits may be able to keep betas low, but a burst of lending and competition from other providers could upend that strategy. Smaller providers and new entrants that don’t have a big deposit buffer will likely be forced to woo customers with higher rates.
It is easy to assume that higher rates are good for the financial-services industry, but it’s just not that simple. Do you know which levers you should pull?
