incorporating that increase underlying X.X% last at that sheet future guess, change or just the could know behind in projections, balance and three maybe NII? talk months. dynamics about the And I that’s growth is, has changed all in question it Q, So, my I about did you the growth over talks

quarter-to-quarter, of because Yeah. from disclosures don’t how stable a No. and The and -- lot are. we largely those change consistent that’s

the we this numbers much the and stability, that A time we years very, much have comments the through notwithstanding the margin, reducing of margin fed year-end financial system, rates you and if back the liquidity better that’s our will of time, pandemic, when frankly, efficiency about of over always pretty very consistency got ratio, our in at all the go case. our quickly, never right? our deviate has So if interest bit. two you and in changed, didn’t you over especially The metrics, because here go XX-K been think net the in right?
