The extraordinary events of March 2023 have brought liquidity risk into the limelight. FHLBank Boston has multiple solutions to support members in meeting their funding, liquidity, and risk-management needs.
In an environment with higher interest rates than have been observed in almost a generation, FHLBank Boston dividends are an important consideration when evaluating funding options and prices. Dividends reduce effective borrowing costs and unlike other alternative funding providers, there are no other basis point fees that would increase the net borrowing cost. Ignoring these subtleties could be costly to your institution.
Higher interest rates and lower capital ratios have created new interest-rate risk management challenges for credit unions. FHLBank Boston advances can offer solutions to mitigate those risks.
Shifting expectations on the Federal Reserve’s path have changed the level and shape of the curve, creating liquidity needs but also opportunities for members.
Our Annual and Advisory Council Reports highlight how the Bank innovated to help our members with their liquidity and housing and community development needs throughout 2024.
Our digital magazine features current trends in financial services, legislation, housing and community development, and the products and services we offer.
