The industry's return on assets and return on equity both rose above the already high level of recent years (chart l).1 Profitability Return on assets was concentrated at large banks—particularly among the 100 largest—and was driven upward by a surge in noninterest income and a significant slowdown in the growth of noninterest expense. Other sources of improved profitability were a stabilization of net interest income, which had been weakening in recent Components of bank credit and bank deposit years, and lower loan loss provisioning permitted liabilities that had been boosted by the financial by generally good asset quality.
