As of March 31, 2024, based on the scenarios above, net interest income would decrease by approximately 7.73% to 15.61%, over a one-year time horizon in a rising interest rate environment. One-year net interest income would increase by approximately 4.96% to 9.95% in a declining interest rate environment.
Economic value at risk would be negatively impacted by a rise in interest rates and would be positively impacted by a decline in interest rates. We have established an interest rate floor of zero percent for measuring interest rate risk.
