HOST STATE LOAN-TO-DEPOSIT RATIOS

Banking Efficiency
May 22, 2003


TO: CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER (also of interest to Compliance Officer)
SUBJECT: 2003 Host State Loan-to-Deposit Ratios
Summary: The federal banking agencies have issued the host state loan-to-deposit ratios for 2003.

Section 109 of the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 (Riegle-Neal Act) prohibits any bank from establishing or acquiring a branch outside of its home state primarily for the purpose of deposit production. Pursuant to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999, this prohibition applies to any bank branch controlled by an out-of-state bank holding company. As part of the test for compliance with Section 109, a bank's statewide loan-to-deposit ratio is compared to the appropriate host state's loan-to-deposit ratio.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the Federal Reserve Board, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency have issued the 2003 host state loan-to-deposit ratios that the agencies will use to determine compliance with Section 109. Attached is the joint press release dated May 22, 2003, that announces the host state loan-to-deposit ratios for 2003.

For more information, please contact Louise Kotoshirodo Kramer, Policy Analyst in the FDIC's Division of Supervision and Consumer Protection, at (202) 898-6615.
