Northwestern National Economist Says:

Midwest Econom y Will Turn Around
N T ER EST rates will drop signifi­
cantly in coming months, and the
Idecline
will be the catalyst needed to
turn the economy around, says Dr.
Sung Won Sohn, chief economist of
Northwestern National Bank of Min­
neapolis.
The economist
also predicted
that, even though
the general out­
look for the Up­
per Midwest is
“gray,” the ex­
pected drop in in­
terest rates will
help the regional
economy.
DR. SUNG WON SOHN
His predictions were made in con­
junction with the release of the 13th
semi-annual survey of 625 bankers
in the Twin Cities, northeastern
Minnesota and agricultural com­
munities in Iowa, Minnesota, Mon­
tana, Nebraska, North and South
Dakota and western Wisconsin.
“Today, the key to an economic
recovery is lower interest rates,” Dr.
Sohn said, adding that the declines
since last summer have already add­
ed $300 billion to the consumers’ net
worth.
“With additional cuts in interest
charges,” he said, “consumers’ finan­
cial positions will continue to im-

prove. But most important, the drop
will raise consumer’s confidence
levels causing them to use buying
and borrowing powers they have
built up thus far.”
Lower interest rates also will have
a more direct impact on consumer
spending because of flexible install­
ment loan rates and floating mort­
gage rates, Dr. Sohn stated.
In agricultural communities, he
said, huge crop inventories will pre­
vent meaningful improvement in the
farm economy in 1983. He added that
producers with heavy debt loads will
“struggle to survive, while diver­
sified operators, strong managers
and participants in next year’s
acreage-reduction program will hold
their own.
“The plight of the farmer has
been widely publicized,” Dr. Sohn
added, “yet our bankers indicate
that the vast majority of their cus­
tomers continue to be in sound fi­
nancial shape.”
He pointed out that the number of
farms going out of business during
the past year was quite small, aver­
aging about one percent. He said the
number of farms ceasing operations
next year is expected to be about two
percent, “still a very low figure.”
In northeastern Minnesota, siz­
able layoffs in the taconite industry

November 29,1982
and weak demand for wood products
continue to depress economic condi­
tions, Dr. Sohn said. He pointed out
that, although some taconite em­
ployees are being called back to
work, “the near-term outlook re­
mains poor.”
Half of the bankers surveyed in
northeastern Minnesota expect over­
all conditions to be worse in the next
six months. But, Dr. Sohn, added,
the pick-up in national economic ac­
tivities will eventually help the min­
ing industry, although there will be
“a substantial lag.”
The economist also predicted that
the Twin Cities area will recover
before any improvement is seen in
the agricultural and mining com­
munities. And, while a quick turn­
around for the metropolitan area is
not expected, further deterioration
“should be limited.”
“The Twin Cities area will be the
first in the region to benefit from
lower interest rates and increased
national economic activity,” Dr.
Sohn predicted.
The report of the Fall 1982 Re­
gional Economic Survey conducted
by Northwestern National shows a
loan-to-deposit ratio for all banks in
the seven states of 59.5%. Last spring
that ratio was 58%. The fall survey
of 1979 showed a ratio of 68.9%. All
surveyed banks reported an average
interest rate charged for operating
loans of 1 5 .7% . Am ong the
respondents, 44% said loans are

higher than a year ago, while 23%
said lower. Also, 54% of the banks
said customers are repaying loans
slower, and only 2% said they are
repaying faster.
The respondents stated that in
the past three months 42% of them
denied loan requests more than nor­
mal, while 58% said about normal.
In regard to anticipated loan de­
mand for the next 12 months, only
11% expect higher loan demand for
machinery and farm equipment;
25% more for livestock; 48% more
for crop operating expenses; 21%
higher for non-ag loans, and a total
of 37% expect higher loan demand
for all bank loans.

dustrial employees in the City are: Fisher Controls, valves, regulators, controls; Lennox Industries, Inc., heating and air conditioning pro­
ducts; Swift Independent Packaging Co., fresh pork products and Marshalltown Instruments, pressure and temperature measuring in­

James Neuroth, left, senior vice president of First Bank Albert Lea (Minnesota), employed
Robert Hoebelheinrich, right, in late 1981 through AGRIcareers. The young man had acquired ag lending experience in South Dakota and was willing to relocate.

Banking personnel specialist Linda Heit
worked with the Albert Lea bank in locating
and selecting a qualified employee.

When James Neuroth, Senior
Vice President of First Bank Albert
Lea (Minnesota), started looking
for a new ag rep recently, he tried
locally, had no success, then con­
tacted three personnel firms for
help.

dred resumes. They sent several,
and all of them fit the qualifications
we were looking for,” says Neuroth.
He hired Robert Hoebelheinrich,
who has since been promoted to ag
lending officer.
The south central Minnesota
bank is part of the First Bank Sys­
tem, and footings total $57 m illion.
Loans to farmers totals $5 m illion
and volume is growing, managed
by Hoebelheinrich under Neuroth’s
supervision.

The new employee has a degree
in business adm inistration, grad­
uating in 1980 with a major in ac­
counting, and came to the job from
an ag banking position in South
Dakota. He grew up on a Nebraska
farm.
“ The demands on ag lending are
changing,” observes Neuroth. “ We
have to become more knowledge­
able about agriculture. The mar­
gins in farming are narrow; there’s
not much room for error.
“ The farmer can’t price the pro­
ducts he sells, so forecasting in­
come and sticking to a budget are
very important. The lender has to
be careful not to encourage a bor­
rower in the wrong direction.”

IMPORTANT CHANGES TO REGULATION E
DISCLOSURE FORM
Electronic Banking Card Issuers:

•

Recent changes in the Code of Iowa, Chapter 527, has made Regulation E disclosure forms
that refer to “deposits made at Satellite terminals” obsolete.

#

As of July 1,1982, customer deposits to checking and savings accounts are not restricted to
satellite terminals within or contiguous to the county in which your bank maintains its principal
place of business.

•

Furthermore, if you have not been providing a shortform error resolution notice on, or with,
each periodic statement, Regulation E requires you to send an error resolution notice to each
account at least once each calendar year. The requirement applies to each account from
which, or to which, electronic fund transfers can be made.

•

Non-Issuers:

•

Although recent changes do not affect Regulation E disclosure forms covering pre­
authorized debits and credits only, if your bank’s assets exceed $25 million on December 31,
1981 — Regulation E requires you to send an error resolution notice to each account at least
once each calendar year. The requirement applies to each account from which, or to which,
electronic fund transfers can be made.

Hurry! Disclosures must be sent to your customers before
