Board of Directors of Federal Home Loan Bank System Office of Finance

Краткое содержание

Governed by the Federal Housing Finance Agency's (FHFA) regulations, the Federal Home Loan Bank System's (System) Office of Finance, issues debt ("consolidated obligations") on which the Federal Home Loan Banks (Banks) are jointly and severally liable and publishes combined financial reports on the Banks so that investors in the consolidated obligations can assess the strength of the System that stands behind them. The Office of Finance (OF) is governed by a board of directors, the composition and functions of which are determined by FHFA's regulations. The FHFA's experience with the System and with the OF's combined financial reports during the recent period of market stress suggests that the OF and the System could benefit from a reconstituted and strengthened board. This proposed regulation is intended to achieve that.
