it. Got

Perfect. Okay.

again A – little quarter. seen yeah, gone more through outputs pricing just the we’ve the stability behavior as the ahead. and bit We’ve go

level of that And said about or Got right, comfortable I around of it. you perfect. are had think quarter I last billion now. level think just $X you is right with cash liquidity, so and the cash of – billion $X.X terms in All with? there you’re

of this can you $X.X a the from rationale level what think help maybe quarter? borrowings and behind us is through the also billion So liquidity appropriate of BTFP

Sure. Yes.

down the quarter. really at on maintain like the to billion on And was didn’t the that see $X.X about that the front it’s billion brought deposit just we levels of cash really put end – the excess excess cash we quarter. need about And that because stability So first $X.X this just we mentioned our of that the liquidity.

higher probably have that levels the what a little I as now, we On right it’s than a would still say norm. historical

And so over may maybe billion that dwindle time, $X.X another down so. or

today. comfortable We’re

actually a was we at today. point borrowing about you’re yes, in some home federal To term right, replace that are Yes. federal $X.X rate we funding did normalized at a the where pay borrowing, bank comfortable can a any loan lower and it home loan borrowings we but then, level, time. billion bank program there we’re with more bank than And back

on So it expense us net was costs. for margin and improvement on the a our
