• Filing notes: consolidated obligations are joint and several obligations of the 11 Federal Home Loan Banks, are not guaranteed by the U.S. government, and Schedule A excludes discount notes with maturities ≤1 year and may not reflect GAAP presentation (discounts/premiums).

Why It Matters

• Consolidated obligations are the primary way the FHLBank funds its operations; these commitments increase the FHLBank’s near-term debt issuance and define upcoming interest expense based on reported coupon rates and maturities.
• Because consolidated obligations are a joint obligation of all Federal Home Loan Banks (and not U.S. government-guaranteed), investors and counterparties should note the credit structure and the Finance Agency’s regulatory authority described in the filing.
• The Schedule A details help investors see timing, sizes, maturities and callable features of the new issues, but it does not show short-term discount notes, derivative overlays, or GAAP-adjusted carrying amounts — those appear in periodic reports.
