Dividend Announcement 1Q21
The FHLBNY Declares a 4.75% Dividend for the First Quarter of 2021
I am pleased to announce that, on May 28, 2021, our Board of Directors approved a dividend for the first quarter of 2021 of 4.75% (annualized). The dollar amount of the dividend will be approximately $62.2 million. The cash dividend will be distributed on June 1, 2021.
As our region continues its recovery, the FHLBNY remains a stable and reliable partner to our members, as reflected in our ability to provide a reasonable return on our members’ investment in our cooperative despite ongoing pressures affecting our operating environment. Our members are truly a vital and committed part of every community across our District, and essential to our region’s recovery.
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 the FHLBNY’s financial performance and level of dividends. The FHLBNY will continue to assess the potential effects of changes in the environment on its financial performance and dividend strategy.
We filed our Form 10-Q for the first quarter of 2021 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 12, 2021.
Sincerely,
José R. González
President and Chief Executive Officer
