The strong performance is the latest example of banks in the region having success on the public markets. Of the 27 community banks to join the OTCQX Best Market in 2018, nearly a third&mdash;such as Delmarva, Revere Bank (OTCQX:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/REVB#OTCQX">REVB</a>), and Carter Bank &amp; Trust (OTCQX:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/CARE#OTCQX">CARE</a>)&mdash;are Mid-Atlantic firms. And, as of the end of April, three of the top 10 holdings in the index, Revere Bank, Isabella Bank Corp. (OTCQX:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/ISBA#OTCQX">ISBA</a>) Franklin Financial Services Corp. (OTCQX:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/FRAF#OTCQX">FRAF</a>), are headquartered in the region.

This area of the country has long-benefited from a healthy lending environment. In 2016, <a href="https://www.spglobal.com/marketintelligence/en/news-insights/trending/q_iq5rkwsore8f0vnnnobq2">S&amp;P Global found</a> that median loan growth for local banks with less than $10 billion in assets had &ldquo;been strongest in the mid-Atlantic, driven specifically by commercial and industrial lending.&rdquo; 
Sandler O&#39;Neill analyst Frank Schiraldi noted at the time that the region&rsquo;s stable economic base was leading people to migrate to the area, which then, in turn, leads to more stability.

In the last quarter of 2018, Southeast and Mid-Atlantic community banks <a href="https://www.spglobal.com/marketintelligence/en/news-insights/trending/fulQgF8aWD8hBpRa7OubBg2">led all other areas of the country </a>in C&amp;I loan growth, with 2.5 percent and 2.2 percent growth respectively, compared to the 1.7 percent national average. The region also led the nation in gross loan and lease growth, CRE &amp; multifamily loan growth, and mortgage &amp; home equity loan growth.

As more businesses and jobs flock to this area of the country ((Amazon.com Inc&rsquo, NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) decision to <a href="https://www.globest.com/2018/12/12/the-ripple-effects-of-amazons-move-to-crystal-city/?slreturn=20190428164324">build its HQ2</a> in Crystal City, Virginia was a big win), the Mid-Atlantic economy looks poised to continue growing. Such an occurrence could only be a tailwind for the community banks looking to help fund that growth.
