Question: Erika Najarian - UBS Investment Bank, Research Division - Analyst
: I guess my question was on the RWA mitigation. So I just -- I'm going to follow up in terms of Clark's answer to that question. So you're pointing
us to the $10 billion as the right area, which is a lot, it's a lot of RWA to take out. And I guess I'm wondering; number one, could you give us a sense
of how much has already been taken out and what's to come? And second, as we think about the net interest income trajectory for next year, does
the comment of the NII bottoming about here or in the fourth quarter, consider the cost of the RWA mitigation that you have left?
Question: Erika Najarian - UBS Investment Bank, Research Division - Analyst
: Got it. And, Chris, I guess, just the follow-up to there is Basel III Endgame clearly gives the banks time. And as you mentioned, the moves that you're
making in terms of improving the margin, being mindful of balance sheet size, being mindful of the expense base, the target would be to improve
CET1 generation from here. I guess how do you balance the notion of, okay, we have this $10 billion of RWA reduction check that's done, and
potentially we're ready to be a little bit more aggressive in the market or not? You tell me. One of your peers said that they're ready for loan growth
next year versus the notion of with U.S. Bank being freed from its category 2 commitments, whenever everyone runs the data on adjusted CET1,
Key sort of ends up at the bottom of the list. So how do you balance in terms of running the bank day-to-day, right, versus how your investors are
thinking about KeyCorp in sort of this new world order for regulation?
