I am pleased to announce that, on November 18, 2021, our Board of Directors approved a dividend for the third quarter of 2021 of 4.40% (annualized). The dollar amount of the dividend will be approximately $51.8 million. The cash dividend will be distributed on November 19, 2021.
Throughout 2021, the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York has been a reliable partner to our members as we work together to serve and support communities across our region. The stability of our franchise – which is seen in our continued ability to provide a consistent dividend – is key to the overall value of membership.
The health and economic crises resulting from COVID-19 continue to be 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 third quarter of 2021 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on November 12, 2021.
Sincerely,
José R. González
President and Chief Executive Officer
