Dividend Announcement 2Q20
The FHLBNY Declares a 5.60% Dividend for the Second Quarter of 2020

I am pleased to announce that, on August 20, 2020, our Board of Directors approved a dividend for the second quarter of 2020 of 5.60 percent (annualized). The dollar amount of the dividend will be approximately $95.5 million. The cash dividend will be distributed on August 21, 2020.

Our ability to provide a reasonable quarterly dividend, especially amid such a challenging period, reflects the reliability and stability of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York. We take great pride in our role as a trusted partner for our members. As our region and the nation continues to face the challenges presented by the pandemic, we stand with our members to continue to support the communities we all serve.

The health and economic crises resulting from COVID-19 are unpredictable and may affect the environment in which the FHLBNY operates. Changes to market and business conditions may negatively impact our financial performance and level of dividends. Throughout the remainder of the year, we will continue to assess the potential effects of changes in the environment on our financial performance and dividend strategy.

We filed our Form 10-Q for the second quarter of 2020 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on August 10, 2020

Sincerely,

José R. González
President and Chief Executive Officer
