CEO outlook and commentary
Vito S. Pantilione, President and Chief Executive Officer of Parke Bancorp, Inc. and Parke Bank, provided the following statement:
"2025 started off with President Trump being sworn in as the 47th President, quickly followed by his administration making sweeping economic changes in the country and the world. The effect these changes will have on the economy and banking are still a question mark. The Feds started out the year by indicating they believe there will be two rate cuts in 2025, however, they also forecasted 6 rate cuts in 2024 and there were only 3."
"Implementation of President Trump's promised across the board tariffs put the stock market in turmoil, quickly plunging the market into bear territory, followed by one of the biggest one-day gains when a 90 day pause in the tariffs was announced. During the market plunge there was a lot of discussion of a possible, with some saying a probable, recession in 2025. The Feds voiced concern that they may need to accelerate lowering interest rates due to recession concerns. As expected, the tariff pause has now caused a mixture of "expert" opinions ranging from now avoiding a recession to others believing there would still be a recession in 2025. There is no clear picture of the economic future. Parke Bank had good financial results in the first quarter of 2025. Net Income was
"ParkeBank is well positioned to navigate the challenging economic volatility with tight control of our expenses, strong capital, and management of our asset quality."
