and front office hiring.

net charge-offs, compared to an expense of $10.5 billion in the prior year predominantly driven by net reserve builds of $8.9
billion. The net reserve release was driven by improvements in the Firm’s economic outlook. The net reserve release comprised
of $2.6 billion in Consumer — predominantly driven by $1.8 billion in Card and $600 million in Home Lending — and $442
