The improvement is reflected through <br />our estimate for a lower provision for credit losses for 2011 relative to 2010. While there are some signs of <br />improvement in economic conditions, there remains considerable underlying potential volatility. High <br />unemployment, a fragile recovery in the housing sector, commodity volatility and a stressed commercial <br />real estate sector are all factors that may continue to negatively influence the majority of our loan and lease <br />portfolios. <br />-27- <br />2011 Bank of the West Annual Report <br />
