Assume that Citizens’ assets are more rate sensitive than its liabilities. What will the impact be on Net Interest Margin if interest rates increase? EXPLAIN

This means that there is greater impact on income from assets due to interest rate changes than on liability payments.
With an increase in interest rates, the income from assets will increase at a higher rate than the payment on liabilities
Hence the Net Interest margin will increase since income will rise greater than expenses.
