Community bank leaders say commercial loan demand remains strong despite recent hikes in the Federal Reserve’s benchmark interest rate. The blitz on home loans and refinancings, however, is coming to a close. Ion Bank President and CEO David J. Rotatori said interest rates remain historically low and that builders and other commercial borrowers have “plenty of room to maintain profitability.” “A lot of them have refinanced already, so they are all in a relatively strong condition, and the amount of liquidity in the market right now is very high,” Rotatori said.
