Note 1 – Background and Basis of Presentation

The Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago is a federally chartered corporation and one of 11 Federal Home Loan Banks (the FHLBs) that, with the Office of Finance, comprise the Federal Home Loan Bank System (the System). The FHLBs are government sponsored enterprises (GSE) of the United States of America and were organized under the Federal Home Loan Bank Act of 1932, as amended (FHLB Act), in order to improve the availability of funds to support home ownership. We are supervised and regulated by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), an independent federal agency in the executive branch of the United States (U.S.) government.

Each FHLB is a member-owned cooperative with members from a specifically defined geographic district. Our defined geographic district is Illinois and Wisconsin. All federally-insured depository institutions, insurance companies engaged in residential housing finance, credit unions and community development financial institutions located in our district are eligible to apply for membership with us. All our members are required to purchase our capital stock as a condition of membership. Our capital stock is not publicly traded, and is issued, repurchased or redeemed at par value, $100 per share, subject to certain statutory and regulatory limits. As a cooperative, we do business with our members, and former members (under limited circumstances). Specifically, we provide credit principally in the form of secured loans called advances. We also provide liquidity for home mortgage loans to members approved as Participating Financial Institutions (PFIs) through the Mortgage Partnership Finance® (MPF®) Program.

Our accounting and financial reporting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP). Amounts in prior periods may be reclassified to conform to the current presentation and, if material, are detaileddisclosed in the following notes.

Note 3 – Recently Issued but Not Yet Adopted Accounting Standards

There were no recentlyDuring March 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued but not yetASU 2022-01 Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Fair Value Hedging—Portfolio Layer Method. This ASU broadens the availability of fair value hedging to non-prepayable and prepayable portfolios. The guidance on hedging multiple layers in a closed portfolio is applied prospectively. The guidance on the accounting for fair value basis adjustments is applied on a modified retrospective basis. Further, an entity may reclassify debt securities from held-to-maturity to available for sale if it includes them in a closed portfolio that is hedged under the portfolio layer method. This ASU is effective for the Bank starting January 1, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Bank is in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption and implementation of this ASU.

Also during March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures to eliminate the recognition and measurement guidance for troubled debt restructurings for creditors that have adopted accounting standardsCurrent Expected Credit Losses (CECL) methodology. The ASU also requires enhanced disclosures about loan modifications for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty and requires the presentation of gross write-offs by year of origination. This ASU is effective starting January 1, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Bank is evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU, which may have a material effect on our condensed financial statements.it expects to be immaterial.

We classify debt securities as either trading, Held-to-Maturityheld-to-maturity (HTM), or Available-for-Saleavailable-for-sale (AFS). Our security disclosures within these classifications are disaggregated by major security types as shown below. Our major security types are based on the nature and risks of the security:

U.S. Government & other government related - may consist of the sovereign debt of the United States; debt issued by GSE; debt issued by the Tennessee Valley Authority; and securities guaranteed by the Small Business Administration.
Federal Family Education Loan Program - asset-backed-securities (FFELP ABS).
GSE residential mortgage backedmortgage-backed securities (MBS) - issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Government guaranteed residential MBS.
SOFR Structured Adjustable Rate Mortgage (SOFR SARM) MBS.
State or local housing agency obligations.

We have no allowance for credit losses on our investment debt securities and we have elected to exclude accrued interest receivable from the amortized cost in the following AFS and HTM tables. Prior to 2022, we included accrued interest in the carrying value of our AFS securities. See Note 8 - Allowance for Credit Losses for further details on these amounts.

Credit Loss Analysis

We recognized no credit losses on HTM or AFS debt securities for the periods presented. We do not intend to sell AFS securities (although in October 2020 the Bank sold private label mortgage backed securities (PLMBS), as discussed in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of our 2020 Form 10-K), and we believe it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell them prior to recovering their amortized cost. We expect to recover the entire amortized cost on these securities.

Accretion on Prior Years' Other-Than-Temporary Impairment

Increases in cash flows expected to be collected and recognized into interest income on prior years' credit related other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) charges on our AFS and HTM PLMBS were $6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and $18 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. As discussed in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of our 2020 Form 10-K, we sold these PLMBS during October 2020.

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Forbearance
Section 4013 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) providesCARES Act) provided temporary relief from the accounting and reporting requirements for troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) for certain loan modifications related to COVID-19. Specifically, the CARES Act providesprovided that a qualifying financial institution may elect to suspend (1) the requirements under U.S. GAAP for certain loan modifications that would otherwise be categorized as a TDR, and (2) any determination that such loan modifications would be considered a TDR, including the related impairment for accounting purposes. Section 4013 of the CARES Act appliesapplied to any modification related to an economic hardship as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, including a forbearance arrangement, an interest rate modification, a repayment plan, or any similar arrangement that defers or delays payment of principal or interest, that occurs during the period beginning on March 1, 2020 and ending on the earlier of December 31, 2020 or the date that is 60 days after the declaration of the national emergency related to the COVID-19 pandemic ends for a loan that was not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019. On December 27, 2020, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, was signed into law, extending the applicable end period to the earlier of January 1, 2022, or 60 days following the termination of the national emergency related to the COVID-19 pandemic. We haveinterest. Although we elected to suspend TDR accounting for eligible modifications under Section 4013 of the CARES Act. Such modifications to loans outstanding asAct for the period beginning March 1, 2020, we resumed TDR accounting when this section of September 30, 2021 were $19 million.the CARES Act expired on January 1, 2022.

Our servicers may grant a forbearance period to borrowers who have requested forbearance based on COVID-19 related difficulties regardless of the status of the loan at the time of the request.  We continue to apply our accounting policy for past due loans and charge-offs to loans during the forbearance period whether it is formal or informal.  A charge-off is not recognized when there is a presumption that we will collect the full contractual balance of the loan even if it is 180 days past due. The accrual status for loans under forbearance will be driven by the past due status of the loan as the legal terms of the contractual arrangement have not been modified.

As of September 30, 2021, there were $85 million in unpaid principal balance (UPB) of conventional loans in a forbearance plan as a result of COVID-19. Of these conventional loans in forbearance, $4 million in UPB had a current payment status, $8 million were 30 to 59 days past due, $4 million were 60 to 89 days past due, and $69 million were more than 90 days past due and in nonaccrual payment status.  These loans represent 1% of our MPF Loans held in portfolio at September 30, 2021.

Note 9 – Derivatives and Hedging Activities

Refer to Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our 20202021 Form 10-K for our accounting policies for derivatives.

We transact most of our derivatives with large banks and major broker-dealers. Some of these banks and broker-dealers or their affiliates buy, sell, and distribute consolidated obligations. We are not a derivatives dealer and do not trade derivatives for speculative purposes. We enter into derivative transactions through either of the following:

A bilateral agreement with an individual counterparty for over-the-counter derivative transactions.

Clearinghouses classified as Derivatives Clearing Organizations (DCOs) through Futures Commission Merchants (FCMs), which are clearing members of the DCOs, for cleared derivative transactions.

Managing Interest Rate Risk

We use fair value hedges to manage our exposure to changes in the fair value of (1) a recognized asset or liability or (2) an unrecognized firm commitment, attributable to changes in a benchmark interest rate, such as SOFR. Our cash flow hedge strategy is to hedge the variability in the total proceeds received from rolling forecasted zero-coupon discount note issuance, attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate, by entering into pay-fixed interest rate swaps. We are not using the cash flow hedge strategy for new transactions at this time, as we used LIBOR as the benchmark interest rate for cash flow hedges and we are not entering into new LIBOR-linked transactions.

We may elect the fair value option for financial instruments, such as advances, MPF Loans held for sale, and consolidated obligation discount notes and bonds, in cases where hedge accounting treatment may not be achieved due to the inability to meet the hedge effectiveness testing criteria, or in certain cases where we wish to mitigate the risk associated with selecting the fair value option for other instruments. We may also use economic hedges when hedge accounting is not permitted or hedge effectiveness is not achievable.

Managing Credit Risk on Derivative Agreements

Over-the-counter (bilateral) Derivative Transactions: We are subject to credit risk due to the risk of nonperformance by counterparties to our derivative agreements. For bilateral derivative agreements, the degree of counterparty risk depends on the extent to which master netting arrangements, collateral requirements and other credit enhancements are included in such contracts to mitigate the risk. We manage counterparty credit risk through credit analysis, collateral requirements and adherence to the requirements set forth in our policies and FHFA regulations. We require collateral agreements on all over-the-counter derivatives. Additionally, collateral related to over-the-counter derivatives with member institutions includes collateral assigned to us, as evidenced by a written security agreement, and which may be held by the member institution for our benefit. As of September 30, 2021,2022, based on credit analyses and collateral requirements, we have not recorded a credit loss on our over-the-counter derivative agreements. See Note 15 - Fair Value in our 20202021 Form 10-K for discussion regarding our fair value methodology for over-the-counter derivative assets and liabilities, including an evaluation of the potential for the fair value of these instruments to be affected by counterparty credit risk.

For nearly all of our bilateral derivative transactions executed prior to March 1, 2017, and for all transactions entered into on or after March 1, 2017, our bilateral derivative agreements are fully collateralized with a zero unsecured threshold in accordance with variation margin requirements issued by the U.S. federal bank regulatory agencies and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). We pledged no investment securities on our bilateral derivative transactions (that can be sold or repledged by our counterparty) as of September 30, 2021.2022.

For certain transactions executed prior to March 1, 2017, we may be required to post net additional collateral with our counterparties if there is deterioration in our credit rating.  If our credit rating had been lowered from its current rating to the next lower rating by a major credit rating agency, such as Standard and Poor's or Moody’s, the amount of collateral we would have been required to deliver would have been $4 millionimmaterial at September 30, 2021.2022.

Cleared Derivative Transactions: Cleared derivative transactions are subject to variation and initial margin requirements established by the DCO and its clearing members. Variation margin payments are characterized as settlement of a derivative’s mark-to-market exposure and not as collateral against the derivative’s mark-to-market exposure. See Note 1 - Background and Basis of Presentation and Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the financial statements in our 20202021 Form 10-K for further discussion. We post our initial margin collateral payments and make variation margin settlement payments

through our FCMs, on behalf of the DCO, which could expose us to institutional credit risk in the event that the FCMs or the DCO fail to meet their obligations. Clearing derivatives through a DCO mitigates counterparty credit risk exposure because the DCO

is substituted for individual counterparties and variation margin settlement payments are made daily through the FCMs for changes in the value of cleared derivatives. The DCO determines initial margin requirements for cleared derivatives. We pledged $547$654 million of investment securities (that can be sold or repledged) as part of our initial margin related to cleared derivative transactions at September 30, 2021.2022. Additionally, an FCM may require additional initial margin to be posted based on credit considerations, including but not limited to, if our credit rating downgrades.  We had no requirement to post additional initial margin by our FCMs at September 30, 2021.2022.

The following table presents details on the notional amounts, and cleared and bilateral derivative assets and liabilities on our Condensed Statements of Condition. The netting adjustment amount includes cash collateral (either received or paid by us) and related accrued interest in cases where we have a legal right, by contract (e.g., master netting agreement) or otherwise, to offset cash flow obligations between us and our counterparty into a single net payable or receivable.

Fair Value Hedges

The following table presents our fair value hedging results by the type of hedged item. We had no net gain or loss on hedged firm commitments that no longer qualified as a fair value hedge. Changes in fair value of the derivative and the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk for designated fair value hedges are recorded in net interest income in the same line as the earnings effect of the hedged item. Gains (losses) on derivatives include unrealized changes in fair value, as well as net interest settlements. The line for Other relates to discontinued closed fair value hedges on MPF Loans held for portfolio that are being amortized over the remaining life of the loans, asloans. As of September 30, 2022 we did not have any active fair value hedges on our MPF Loans as of September 30, 2021.Loans.

Cash Flow Hedges

For cash flow hedges the entire change in the fair value of the hedging instrument is recorded in AOCI and reclassified into earnings (net interest income) as the hedged item affects earnings. Hedge effectiveness testing is performed to determine whether hedge accounting is qualified.

We are exposed to the variability in the total net proceeds received from forecasted zero-coupon discount note issuances, which is attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate. As a result, we enter into cash flow hedge relationships utilizing derivative agreements to hedge the total net proceeds received from our "rolling" forecasted zero-coupon discount note issuances attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate. The maximum length of time over which we are hedging this exposure is 98 years. We reclassify amounts in AOCI into our Condensed Statements of Income in the same periods during which the hedged forecasted transaction affects our earnings. We had no discontinued cash flow hedges for the periods presented. The deferred net gains (losses) on derivative instruments in AOCI that are expected to be reclassified to earnings during the next twelve months were $21 millionimmaterial as of September 30, 2021.2022. We are not using the cash flow hedge strategy for new transactions at this time, as we used LIBOR as the benchmark interest rate for cash flow hedges and we are not entering into new LIBOR-linked transactions.

The following table presents our cash flow hedging results by type of hedged item. Additionally, the table indicates where cash flow hedging results are classified in our Condensed Statements of Income. In this regard, the Amount Reclassified from AOCI into Net Interest Income column below includes the following:

The amortization of closed cash flow hedging adjustments, which are reclassified from AOCI into the interest income/expense line item of the respective hedged item type.

The effect of net interest settlements attributable to open derivative hedging instruments, which are initially recorded in AOCI and are reclassified to the interest income/expense line item of the respective hedged item type.

Note 10 – Consolidated Obligations

The FHLBs issue consolidated obligations through the Office of Finance as their agent. Consolidated obligations consist of discount notes and consolidated obligation bonds. Consolidated discount notes are issued to raise short-term funds, are issued at less than their face amount and redeemed at par value when they mature. The maturity of consolidated obligation bonds may range from less than one year to over 20 years, but they are not subject to any statutory or regulatory limits on maturity.

The following table presents our consolidated obligation discount notes for which we are the primary obligor. All are due in one year or less.

Note 11 – Capital and Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock (MRCS)

Under our Capital Plan our stock consists of two sub-classes of stock, Class B1 activity stock and Class B2 membership stock (together, Class B stock), both with a par value of $100 and redeemable on five years' written notice, subject to certain conditions. Under the Capital Plan, each member is required to own capital stock in an amount equal to the greater of a membership stock requirement or an activity stock requirement. All stock that supports a member’s activity stock requirement with the Bank is classified as Class B1 activity stock. Any additional amount of stock necessary for the total amount of Class B stock held to equal a member’s minimum investment amount will be classified as Class B2 membership stock. Members purchase Class B2 membership stock to satisfy their membership stock requirement with the Bank. Stock held in excess of a member’s minimum investment requirement is classified as Class B2 excess capital stock. See Note 12 – Capital and Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock (MRCS) to the financial statements in our 20202021 Form 10-K for further information on our capital stock and MRCS.

Minimum Capital Requirements

For details on our minimum capital requirements, including how the ratios below were calculated, see Minimum Capital Requirements in Note 12 – Capital and Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock (MRCS) to the financial statements in our 20202021 Form 10-K. We complied with our minimum regulatory capital requirements as shown below.

Total regulatory capital and leverage capital includes mandatorily redeemable capital stock (MRCS) but does not include AOCI. Under the FHFA regulation on capital classifications and critical capital levels for the FHLBs, we are adequately capitalized.

Additionally, an FHFA Advisory Bulletin sets forth guidance for each FHLB to maintain a ratio of at least two percent of capital stock to total assets. In accordance with this guidance, the FHFA considers the proportion of capital stock to assets, measured on a daily average basis at month end, when assessing each FHLB’s capital management practices.

Dividends

Our ability to pay dividends is subject to the FHLB Act and FHFA regulations. On October 21, 202128, 2022 our Board of Directors declared a 5.00%6.50% dividend (annualized) for Class B1 activity stock and a 2.00%2.75% dividend (annualized) for Class B2 membership stock based on our preliminary financial results for the third quarter of 2021.2022. This dividend totaled $25$41 million (recorded as $22$37 million dividends on capital stock and $3$4 million interest expense on mandatorily redeemable capital stock) and is scheduled for payment on November 15, 2021.2022. Any future dividend payment remains subject to declaration by the Board and will depend on future operating results, our Retained Earnings and Dividend Policy and any other factors the Board determines to be relevant.

Repurchase of Excess Capital Stock

Members may request repurchase of excess capital stock on any business day. Additionally, on a monthly basis, the Bank repurchases excess capital stock held by each member or former member that exceeds certain limits set by the Bank. All repurchases of excess capital stock, including any future monthly repurchases, will continue until otherwise announced, but remain subject to our regulatory requirements, certain financial and capital thresholds, and prudent business practices.

FICO Dissolution

In connection with the dissolution of the Financing Corporation (FICO) in July 2020, we received $19 million in June 2020 as a partial recovery of our prior capital distribution to FICO. These funds have been credited to unrestricted retained earnings in our Condensed Statements of Capital and in Other Financing Activities in our Condensed Statements of Cash Flows. See Note 12 – Capital and Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock (MRCS) to the financial statements in our 2020 Form 10-K for further details.

Note 13 - Fair Value

The following table is a summary of the fair value estimates and related levels in the hierarchy. The carrying amounts are per the Condensed Statements of Condition. Fair value estimates represent the exit prices that we would receive to sell assets or pay to transfer liabilities in an orderly transaction with market participants at the measurement date. They do not represent an estimate of our overall market value as a going concern, as they do not take into account future business opportunities or profitability of assets and liabilities. We measure instrument-specific credit risk attributable to our consolidated obligations based on our nonperformance risk, which includes the credit risk associated with the joint and several liability of other FHLBs (see Note 16 - Commitments and Contingencies in our 20202021 Form 10-K). As a result, we did not recognize any instrument-specific credit risk attributable to our consolidated obligations that are carried at fair value. See Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our 20202021 Form 10-K for our fair value policies and Note 15 - Fair Value in our 20202021 Form 10-K for our valuation techniques and significant inputs. See Note 9 - Derivatives and Hedging Activities for more information on the Netting and Cash Collateral amounts. The net carrying amount in the below table is net of any allowance for credit losses.

Fair Value Option

We may elect the fair value option for financial instruments, such as advances, MPF Loans held for sale, and consolidated obligation discount notes and bonds, in cases where hedge accounting treatment may not be achieved due to the inability to meet the hedge effectiveness testing criteria, or in certain cases where we wish to mitigate the risk associated with selecting the fair value option for other instruments. Financial instruments for which we elected the fair value option along with their related fair value are shown on our Condensed Statements of Condition. Refer to our Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the financial statements in our 20202021 Form 10-K for further details.

The following table presents the gains (losses) in fair values of financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value under the fair value option, which are recognized in noninterest income - instruments held under the fair value option in our Condensed Statements of Income:Income.

Forward-Looking Information

Statements contained in this report, including statements describing the plans, objectives, projections, estimates, strategies, or future predictions of management, statements of belief, any projections or guidance on dividends or other financial items, or any statements of assumptions underlying the foregoing, may be “forward-looking statements.” These statements may use forward-looking terminology, such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “could,” "plans," “estimates,” “may,” “should,” “will,” their negatives, or other variations of these terms. We caution that, by their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties related to our operations and business environment, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control.

Advances outstanding declined slightlyincreased to $46.0$59.7 billion at September 30, 2021, from $46.72022, compared to $48.0 billion at December 31, 2020. We believe many of2021, attributable to increased borrowings from our depository members experienced an inflow of deposits on their balance sheets along with reduced loan demand, while also having access to other liquidity sources as a result of certain government actions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, which limited their need for advances. Although these factors continued to impact our advance balances, increased advance borrowing by insurance company members has mostly offset the decline.institutions.

MPF Loans held in portfolio continued to remain steady at $9.8$10.1 billion at September 30, 2021,2022, compared to $10.0$9.8 billion at December 31, 2020.2021.

Total liquid assets increased to $18.4 billion at September 30, 2022, compared to $13.2 billion at December 31, 2021. We strive to maintain a sufficient pool of liquidity to support anticipated member demand for advances and were not replaced.letters of credit.

We recorded net income of $77$95 million in the third quarter of 2021, down from $852022, up $18 million incompared to the third quarter of 2020, primarily2021. The increase was due to a decrease in net interest income attributable to the lower interest rate environment. Advance prepayment fees also decreased $20 million from $27 million in the third quarter of 2020 to $7 million for the same period in 2021. Additionally, advance prepayments throughout 2020 resulted in a decline in our portfolio of high interest earning advances, which reduced the yield earned and balance outstandingincreased returns on our advance portfolio inliquid assets as interest rates rose during the third quarter of 2021 compared to the same period, in 2020. The decline in interest income was offset in part by lower operating expenses as information technology and employee compensation and benefits expenses decreased and by the absence of COVID-19 relief program expenses relative to the same period in the prior year.other factors described below.

In the third quarter of 2021,2022, noninterest income (loss) was ($2)$27 million, up $6an increase of $29 million from ($8)when compared to a $(2) million (loss) for the third quarter of 2020, primarily due2021. Gains from derivatives used to hedge our market risk exposure was the primary driver of this increase. There was also a decreasesignificant decline in the average balance of our trading securities outstanding for the period resulting from a decline in investment in U.S. Treasuries, which in turn reduced the amount of losses incurred on our trading securities.portfolio.

We remained in compliance with all of our regulatory capital requirements as of September 30, 2021.2022.

Results of Operations


Net Interest Income

Net interest income is the difference between the amount we recognize into interest income on our interest earning assets and the amount we recognize into interest expense on our interest bearing liabilities. These amounts were determined in accordance with GAAP and were based on the underlying contractual interest rate terms of our interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities as well as the following items:
Amortization of premiums;
Accretion of discounts;
Hedge ineffectiveness, which represents the difference between changes in fair value of the derivative hedging instrument and the related change in fair value of the hedged item, is recognized into either interest income or interest expense, whichever is appropriate. For cash flow hedges, recognition occurs only when amounts are reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. Such recognition occurs when earnings are affected by the hedged item;
Net interest paid or received on interest rate swaps that are accounted for as fair value or cash flow hedges;
Amortization of fair value and cash flow closed hedge adjustments;
Advance and investment prepayment fees; and
MPF credit enhancement fees.
The following table presents the increase or decrease in interest income and expense due to volume or rate variances. The calculation of these components includes the following considerations:
 
Average Balance: Average balances are calculated using daily balances. Amortized cost is used to compute the average balances for most of our financial instruments, including MPF Loans held in portfolio (including those that are on nonaccrual status) and available-for-sale debt securities. Fair value is used to compute average balances for our trading debt securities and financial instruments carried at fair value under the fair value option.

Total Interest: Total interest includes the net interest income components, as discussed above, applicable to our interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities.

Yield/Rate: Effective yields/rates are based on total interest and average balances as defined above. Yields/rates are calculated on an annualized basis. The calculation of the yield on our available-for-sale securities does not give effect to changes in fair value that are reflected as a component of AOCI.

The change in volume is calculated as the change in average balance multiplied by the current year yield. The change in rate is calculated as the change in yield multiplied by the prior year average balance. Any changes due to the combined volume/rate variance have been allocated to volume.

The following analysis and comparisons apply to the periods presented in the above table unless otherwise indicated.
Interest income from investment debt securities for the three months ended September 30, 2021 decreased, in partincreased primarily due to lower short-termhigher market interest rates in 20212022 compared to the same period in 2020. In addition, average investment balances declined as Treasury securities matured and were not replaced. Interest income from investment debt securities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 primarily decreased due to lower short-term market interest rates in 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. In addition, the yield earned on our investment securities during 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020 declined as a result of the sale of our PLMBS in October 2020. See Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of our Form 10-K for the year ended 2020 for more information on these PLMBS sales.2021.
Interest income from advances decreasedincreased primarily due to the low interest rate environment since the Federal Reserve dramatically loweredhigher market interest rates in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Lower demand for advances from our depository members, while mostly offset by increased demand from our insurance company members, have also impacted our net interest income. Additionally, advance prepayments throughout 2020 resulted in a decline in our portfolio of higher interest earning advances which reduced the yield earned and balance outstanding on our advance portfolio in 20212022 compared to the same period in 2020.2021. In addition, increased borrowing from our depository members contributed to the increase in interest income.
Interest income from MPF Loans held in portfolio declinedslightly increased primarily due to the lower mortgage rate environment impacting the yield earned on new loan originations, along with the recognition ofa reduction in premium amortization as loans prepaid during the period. In addition, the average balance of MPF Loans heldexpense in portfolio slightly decreased as new-acquisition volume was outpaced by paydown and maturity activity.
Interest expense on our consolidated obligations decreased due to lower short-term market interest rates in 20212022 compared to the same period2021 as loan prepayments slowed in 2020. Additionally, in 2021 we replaced our more expensive callable debt with more advantageously priced funding.2022.
Interest income from overnight federal funds sold, and securities purchased under agreements to resell, decreasedand interest earning deposits increased due to lower short-termhigher market interest rates in 20212022 compared to the same period in 2020.2021.
Interest expense on our shorter-termed consolidated obligation discount notes increased due to higher market interest rates in 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, despite a decline in volume.
Interest expense on our longer-termed consolidated obligation bonds increased due to higher market interest rates in 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, in addition to increased volume.

MPF fees (including from other FHLBs)

A majority of MPF fees are from other FHLBs that pay us a fixed membership fee to participate in the MPF Program and a volume-based fee for us to provide services related to MPF Loans carried on their balance sheets. MPF fees also include income from other third party off-balance sheet MPF Loan products and other related transaction fees. These fees are designed to offset a portion ofcompensate us for the expenses we incur to administer the program for them. Fee income decreased as new-acquisitionprogram.

The following analysis and comparisons apply to the periods presented in the above table. 

Compensation and benefits increased primarily decreased due to reduced pension and other employee-related costs.increased employee headcount. We had 466493 employees as of September 30, 2021,2022, compared to 486466 as of September 30, 2020.2021.

Nonpayroll operating expenses were lower compared to prior periodsincreased primarily due to a one-time expense in 2020 related to the termination of our building lease in addition to reduced information technology expenses. However, we continue our planned investment in information technology, specifically applications, infrastructure and resiliency. In addition, increased voluntary contributions to our Community First programs to support community development also contributed to the increase in nonpayroll operating expenses.

As partFederal Housing Finance Agency and Office of the Bank's ongoing commitment to provide support to our members throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, from May 3, 2021 to May 28, 2021 we made available a zero interest-rate advance with a maximum borrowing amount up to $5 million for all member institutions. Over halfFinance expenses consist of our members took advantage of this advance offering, resulting in $1.7 billion in subsidized, 0% advances to support our members and approximately $3 million recorded in expenses. In 2020, we also offered COVID-19 relief programs to support communities in Illinois and Wisconsin; for more information on these programs, see Environment, Social, and Governance on page 13 of the 2020 10-K.

Other, net expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 primarily decreased due to reduced non-qualified defined benefit plan expenses. Other, net expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 primarily increased due to increased non-qualified defined benefit plan expenses related to the retirement of our former President and CEO expensed in the first quarter of 2021. Other, net expenses also increased in 2021 compared to 2020 to a lesser extent as a result of increases in our share of the funding for the FHFA, our regulator, and the Office of Finance, which manages the consolidated obligation debt issuances of the FHLBs.

The following analysis and comparisons apply to the periods presented in the above table. 

Net unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale debt securities

The net unrealized loss on our available-for-sale (AFS)AFS portfolio for the three months ended September 30, 20212022 was primarily due to long-terman increase in market interest rates finishing slightly higher during the third quarter of 2021. The net unrealized gain on our available-for-sale (AFS) portfolio for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily due to spreads to swaps reversing the widening (losses) initially experienced in the first quarter of 2020 resulting from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the financial markets.2022. As these securities approach maturity, we expect thesethe net unrealized gainslosses in our AOCI as of September 30, 2022 to reverse over the remaining life of these securities (since we expect to receive par value at maturity).

Noncredit OTTI on held-to-maturity debt securities

We recorded unrealized noncredit impairments on held-to-maturity debt securities during the last financial crisis of 2008. From our sale of HTM PLMBS in October 2020 our remaining loss balance in AOCI went to zero. See Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of our 2020 Form 10-K for more details on our sale of PLMBS during October 2020.

Net unrealized gain (loss) on cash flow hedges

The net unrealized gain on cash flow hedges for the three months ended September 30, 20212022 was primarily driven by long-terman increase in market interest rates finishing slightly higher during the third quarter of 2021. The net unrealized gain on cash flow hedges for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily driven by the overall increase in long-term interest rates and the interest rate curve steepening during 2021.

Postretirement plans

The loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was recorded in the first quarter of 2021 primarily due to an actuarial adjustment resulting from a decline in the discount rate used to calculate postretirement benefits.2022.

We did not recognize any instrument-specific credit risk in our Condensed Statements of Comprehensive Income as of September 30, 20212022 due to our credit standing.

Cash and due from banks, interest bearing deposits, federal funds sold, and securities purchased under agreements to resell

Amounts held in these typically overnight accounts will vary each day based on the following:
Interest rate spreads between federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreements to resell and our debt;
Liquidity requirements;
Counterparties available; and
Collateral availability on securities purchased under agreements to resell.

In the third quarter of 2021,2022, we maintained a sufficient pool of liquidity to support anticipated member demand for advances and letters of credit.

Investment Debt Securities

Investment debt securities decreased at the end of third quarter 2022 compared to year end 2021 primarily dueattributable to Treasury securities that matureda decline in the fair value of our AFS portfolio driven by rising market interest rates and were not replaced during 2021.a reduction in investment in U.S. Treasuries.

Advances

Advance balances slightly declinedincreased at the end of third quarter 20212022 compared to year end 2020. We believe many of2021 attributable to increased borrowings from our depository members experienced an inflow of deposits on their balance sheets along with reduced loan demand, while also having access to other liquidity sources as a result of certain government actions related to the COVID-19 pandemic during 2020. Although these factors continued to limit our depository members’ need for advances, increased advance borrowing by insurance company members has mostly offset the decline.members. Advance balances will vary based primarily on member demand or need for wholesale funding and the underlying cost of the advance to the member. It is possible that member demand for our advances could decline further in future periods should their funding needs change, or to the extent they elect alternative funding resources. In addition, as our advances with our former captive insurance companiescompany members mature, our total advance levels may decrease. For a discussion of risks relating to our former captive insurance companies, and of risks relating to our advance levels as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic,company members see Risk Factors starting on page 2322 of our 2021 Form 10-K for the year ended 2020.10-K. For details on our advances with our former captive insurance company members, see Note 6 - Advances.

MPF Loans Held in Portfolio, Net of Allowance for Credit Losses

MPF Loans held in portfolio increased slightly decreased as new-acquisition volume was outpaced by paydown and maturity activity. In addition to our MPF Loans held in portfolio, we have MPF off-balance sheet products, where we buy and concurrently resell MPF Loans to Fannie Mae or other third party investors or pool and securitize them into Ginnie Mae MBS.

Liquidity, Funding, & Capital Resources


Liquidity
For the period ending September 30, 2021,2022, we maintained a liquidity position in accordance with FHFA regulations and guidance, and policies established by our Board of Directors. Based upon our excess liquidity position described below, we anticipate remaining in compliance with our current liquidity requirements. See Liquidity, Funding, & Capital Resources on page 54 in our 20202021 Form 10-K for a detailed description of our current liquidity requirements. We use different measures of liquidity as follows:
Overnight Liquidity – Our policy requires us to maintain overnight liquid assets at least equal to 3.5% or $3.5$3.8 billion of total assets. As of September 30, 2021,2022, our overnight liquidity was $22.6$21.3 billion or 23%20% of total assets, giving us an excess overnight liquidity of $19.1$17.5 billion.
Deposit Coverage – To support our member deposits, FHFA regulations require us to have an amount equal to the current deposits received from our members invested in obligations of the U.S. Government, deposits in eligible banks or trust companies, or advances with maturities not exceeding five years. As of September 30, 2021,2022, we had excess liquidity of $40.0$52.7 billion to support member deposits.

Liquidity Reserves – As discussed on page 54 in the Liquidity, Funding, & Capital Resources section of our 20202021 Form 10-K, FHFA guidance on liquidity (the “Liquidity AB”)Liquidity AB) requires that we hold positive cash flow assuming no access to the capital markets for a period of between ten to thirty calendar days, and assuming the renewal of all maturing advances. The Liquidity AB also requires the Bank to maintain liquidity reserves between one and 20 percent of our outstanding letter of credit commitments.

TheIn an effort to satisfy our current liquidity requirements, we generally maintain increased balances in short-term or liquid investments. Depending on market conditions, the Liquidity AB requiresmay require the Bank to hold an additional amount of liquid assets, which could reduce the Bank’s ability to invest in higher-yielding assets, and may in turn negatively impact net interest income. To the extent that the Bank adjusts pricing for its short-term advances and letters of credit, these products may become less competitive, which may adversely affect advance and capital stock levels as well as letters of credit levels. For additional discussion of how our liquidity requirements may impact our earnings, see Risk Factors section starting on page 2322 of our 20202021 Form 10-K.

In addition, we fund certain shorter-term or overnight investments and advances with debt that has a maturity that extends beyond the maturities of the related investments or advances. The Liquidity AB provides guidance on maintaining appropriate funding gaps for three-month (-10% to -20%) and one-year (-25% to -35%) maturity horizons. Subject to market conditions, our cost of funding may increase if we are required to achieve the appropriate funding gap by using longer term funding, on which we generally pay higher interest than on our short-term funding.

We are sensitive to maintaining an appropriate liquidity and funding balance between our financial assets and liabilities, and we measure and monitor the risk of refunding such assets as liabilities mature (refunding risk). In measuring the level of assets requiring refunding, we take into account their contractual maturities, as further described in the notes to the condensed financial statements. In addition, we make certain assumptions about their expected cash flows. These assumptions include: calls for assets with such features, projected prepayments and scheduled amortizations for our MPF Loans held in portfolio, MBS and ABS investments.

LIBOR Transition

Following the United Kingdom's (U.K.) Financial Conduct Authority (FCA)’s 2017 announcement of its intention to cease sustaining the LIBOR indices after 2021, the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (ARRC) identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR)SOFR as its recommended alternative rate. SOFR is based on a broad segment of the overnight Treasuries repurchase market and is intended to be a measure of the cost of borrowing cash overnight collateralized by Treasury securities. The FHLB System issued its first SOFR-linked debt in the market on November 13, 2018.

On March 5, 2021, the FCA announced that with respect to USD LIBORthe cessation of the 1 week and 2 month USD LIBOR would cease to be provided aftereffective December 31, 2021, and the cessation of the remaining USD LIBOR tenors will cease to be provided or no longer be representativeeffective immediately after June 30, 2023. The FCA announced that it would consult whether to require LIBOR’s administrator (the Intercontinental Exchange Benchmark Administration Limited) to publish certain frequently used USD LIBOR tenors on a non-representative, synthetic basis after such date.June 30, 2023. FCA’s announcement constitutesconstituted an index cessation event under the International Swaps and Derivatives Association's (ISDA) 2020 IBOR Fallbacks Protocol and IBOR Fallbacks Supplement, and as a result, the fallback spread adjustment for derivatives is fixed as of the date of the announcement. We do not have assets indexed to the 1 week and 2 month USD LIBOR, andalthough many of our assets and liabilities are indexed to the remaining USD LIBOR tenors, which will no longer be provided after June 30, 2023.

Additionally, in accordance with a 2019 FHFA supervisory letter, we ceased entering into option embedded advance products that reference LIBOR and ceased purchasing investments that reference LIBOR and maturematured after December 31, 2021. We have also suspended transactions in certain structured advances and advances with terms directly linked to LIBOR that mature after December 31, 2021 and we no longer enter into consolidated obligation bonds and derivatives with swaps, caps, or floors

Further, on July 1, 2021, the FHFA issued an additional supervisory letter setting forth its expectations that the FHLBs should be prudent in their use of non-SOFR based alternative reference rates, and should avoid use of alternative reference rates that are not based on underlying transactions or that introduce further model risk. The letter also providesrequires that an FHLB provide advance notice to its examiner-in-charge of its plans to use a non-SOFR alternative reference rate. For further discussion of the risks related to the replacement of LIBOR, see the Risk Factors section starting on page 2322 in our 20202021 Form 10-K.

We continue to evaluateIn keeping with ARRC's recommendation and plan forindustry developments, the eventual replacement of the LIBOR benchmark interest rate, including the likelihood ofBank has selected SOFR as theits preferred primary replacement rate for investments and advances. We have developed a LIBOR transition action plan and convened a project team to implement the transition, which is led by a senior executive and comprised of representatives from various areas across the Bank. Ourour Asset-Liability Management Committee (ALCO) is the management committee responsible for overseeing the transition from LIBOR. In assessing our current exposure to LIBOR, we developed an inventory of financial instruments impacted and identified contracts that would require adding or adjusting the "fallback" language which provides for contractual alternatives to the use of LIBOR when LIBOR cannot be determined based on the method provided in the agreement. We have amended the terms of certain advance products to include fallback language andlanguage. On March 15, 2022, the Office of Finance has addedAdjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act (LIBOR Act) was signed into law. The LIBOR Act creates a uniform process to incorporate a replacement benchmark rate for LIBOR-indexed contracts that either do not contain a LIBOR fallback provision or adjustedcontain an insufficient LIBOR fallback language applicable to FHLB consolidated obligations.provision. On July 19, 2022, the Federal Reserve Board issued proposed implementing regulations under the LIBOR Act, as further discussed in our Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2022.

For over-the-counter derivatives, we adhered to the ISDA 2020 IBOR Fallbacks Protocol. For cleared derivatives, as part of the transition from LIBOR to SOFR, our clearinghouses revised their discounting methodology used to calculate the present value of future cash flows and price alignment on variation margin for USD cleared swaps from the daily effective federal funds rate (EFFR) to SOFR. Both of our clearinghouses have implemented their own unique cash and basis swap compensation mechanisms for market participants to neutralize any value transfer discrepancies from the LIBOR to SOFR conversion. Further, each clearinghouse announced its own proposalsproposal for the conversion process of LIBOR-linked cleared derivatives to risk-free rates, which isrates. The conversions are scheduled to occur in several tranches based on product type, and are generally expected to occur at or shortlybe completed before the effective date of LIBOR discontinuation.discontinuation for all covered products with the exception of zero coupon swaps and any remaining LIBOR swaps with non-representative fixings, which CME Clearing expects to convert on July 3, 2023. We continue to monitor the market-wide efforts to address fallback language related to cleared derivatives and investment securities as well as fallback language for new activities and issuances of financial instruments. We continue to assess our operational readiness, including updating our processes and information technology systems to support the transition from LIBOR to an alternative reference rate.SOFR.

Market activity in SOFR-indexed financial instruments continues to increase including the emergence of a SOFR-based derivative market, and we continue to participate in the issuance of SOFR-indexed consolidated bonds. We are using federal funds overnight index swapswaps (Fed Funds OIS) swaps and SOFR indexed swaps as an interest rate hedging strategy for financial instruments that do not have embedded options, as an alternative to using LIBOR when entering into new derivative transactions. We are offering SOFR-linked advances to our members, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2021,2022, have issued $895 million$20.4 billion in SOFR-linked advances. For a discussion of risks relating to our use of SOFR-linked consolidated obligations and advances, see Risk Factors starting on page 2322 of our 20202021 Form 10-K. We also offer Discount Note-index floater advances, which some members have used as alternatives to LIBOR-linked advance products.

Our investing activities consist predominantly of investments in liquid assets, investment debt securities, advances, and MPF Loans held in portfolio. The reasons for the changes in net cash provided by (used in) investing activities and changes in allocation within investing activities are discussed below for the nine months ended September 30, unless otherwise stated.

In 2021, theThe cash inflow from investment debt securities was primarily dueflows relating to Treasury securities that matured and were not replaced. Starting at the end of September, we increased our liquid assets as we continue to monitorfluctuate depending on the needs of our liquidity position in connection with uncertainty relating tomembers, our investing strategy, the U.S. Government debt ceiling. In 2020 we reduced our liquid assets as we funded increased investment debt securities after we achievedeconomic environment, and/or regulatory requirements related to liquidity, our mission asset ratio and MBS and ABS investments at the beginning of the year.requirements. We maintain a sufficient pool of liquidity to support anticipated member demand for advances and letters of credit.

OurIn 2022 our net cash inflows from advances resultedinvestment debt securities was attributable to a reduction in investment in U.S. Treasuries and Small Business Administration securities that matured and were not replaced. In 2021 our net cash inflows from outstanding advances decreasing slightlyinvestment debt securities was primarily attributable to a reduction in 2021 as member demand for funding remained steady. We experienced a significantly larger decreaseinvestment in advances during the same period in 2020 as members had reduced need for advances as a result of an inflow of deposits on their balance sheets along with reduced loan demand, as well as access to other liquidity sources as a result of certain government actions related to the COVID-19 pandemicU.S. Treasuries.

In 2022 our net cash outflows for advances was attributable to increased borrowing from our depository members. In 2021 our net cash inflow for advances resulted from a slight decrease in outstanding advances, but member demand for funding remained steady.

In 2022 our net cash outflows for MPF Loans held in portfolio was due to new-acquisition volume that outpaced paydown and maturity activity. In 2021 our net cash inflows from MPF Loans held in portfolio resulted from a slight decline in net investment due to customer paydowns in mortgage loans as a result of refinancing opportunities relative to an increase in mortgage loans in 2020was due to new-acquisition volume outpacing paydownsthat was outpaced by paydown and maturities.maturity activity.

Our financing activities primarily reflect cash flows related to issuing and repaying consolidated obligation bonds and discount notes. The change in net cash provided by (used in) financing activities and change in funding allocations are discussed below for the nine months ended September 30, unless otherwise stated.

In 2022 we paid down our bonds and increased our use of discount notes to align with advantageous funding opportunities. The increased borrowing on our discount notes reflects an increase in debt financing to match the overall increase in assets outstanding as discussed in investing activities above. In 2021 we paid down our discount notes and increased our use of bonds to align with advantageous funding opportunities and our smaller balance sheet. In 2020, while our use of discount notes remained relatively stable, we paid down bonds to align with our smallera contracted balance sheet.

We may not pay dividends if we fail to satisfy our minimum capital and liquidity requirements under the FHLB Act and FHFA regulations. On October 21, 2021,28, 2022, our Board of Directors declared a 5.00%6.50% dividend (annualized) for Class B1 activity stock and a 2.00%2.75% dividend (annualized) for Class B2 membership stock based on our preliminary financial results for the third quarter of 2021.2022.

Although we continue to work to maintain our financial strength to support a reasonable dividend, any future dividend payment remains subject to declaration by our Board and will depend on future operating results, our Retained Earnings and Dividend Policy and any other factors the Board determines to be relevant. For further information see on our Retained Earnings & Dividends on page 66 inand Dividend Policy, see our 2020 Form 10-K.10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

We continue to allocate 20% of our net income each quarter to a restricted retained earnings account in accordance with the Joint Capital Enhancement Agreement that we entered into with the other FHLBs, as further discussed in Joint Capital Enhancement Agreement in Note 12 - Capital and Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock (MRCS) to the financial statements of our 20202021 Form 10-K.

Additionally, an FHFA Advisory Bulletin sets forth guidance for each FHLB to maintain a ratio of at least two percent of capital stock to total assets. In accordance with this guidance, the FHFA considers the proportion of capital stock to assets, measured on a daily average basis at month end, when assessing each FHLB’s capital management practices.

Credit Risk Management

In light of the economic and financial disruptions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are closely monitoring our credit risk exposure. Notwithstanding increasing COVID-19 vaccination rates and the easing of restrictive measures, uncertainty remains with respect to the speed and extent to which normal economic and operating conditions can resume, and with the ultimate effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. For a discussion of the credit risks facing the Bank as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, including as a result of increased forbearances granted by Bank members or PFIs or a decline in the fair value of Bank investments, see Risk Factors starting on page 23 of our 2020 Form 10-K.

Managing Our Credit Risk Exposure Related to Member Credit Products

Our credit risk rating system focuses primarily on our members' overall financial health and takes into account the member's asset quality, earnings, and capital position. For further information please see Credit Risk starting on page 69 in our 20202021 Form 10-K.

The following table presents the number of members and related credit outstanding to them by credit risk rating. Credit outstanding consists primarily of outstanding advances and letters of credit. MPF credit enhancement obligations, member derivative exposures, and other obligations make up the rest. Of the total credit outstanding, $45.6$60.9 billion were advances (par value) and $13.1$13.0 billion were letters of credit at September 30, 2021,2022, compared to $45.8$47.7 billion and $16.4$11.3 billion at December 31, 2020.2021.

Members assigned a 4 rating in the above table were required to submit specific collateral listings and the members assigned a 5 rating were required to deliver collateral to us or to a third party custodian on our behalf.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we began accepting Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans as eligible collateral.  In addition, as many of our members assist borrowers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, we are accepting as eligible collateral loans temporarily granted forbearance due to the pandemic as long as the loans continue to meet all other eligibility requirements as defined in our collateral guidelines.  To the extent that these loans become delinquent or do not meet the Bank’s eligibility guidelines in the future, the value of collateral pledged to secure member credit may be negatively impacted.

MPF Loans and Related Exposures

For details on our allowance for credit losses on MPF Loans, please see Note 8 - Allowance for Credit Losses to the condensed financial statements.

Credit Risk Exposure - Our credit risk exposure on conventional MPF Loans held in portfolio is the potential for financial loss due to borrower default and depreciation in the value of the real estate collateral securing the MPF Loan, offset by our ability to recover losses from PMI, Recoverable CE Fees, and the CE Amount which may include SMI. The PFI is required to pledge collateral to secure any portion of its CE Amount that is a direct obligation of the PFI. For further details see Loss Structure for Credit Risk Sharing Products on page 9 of our 20202021 Form 10-K, and Credit Risk Exposure and Setting Credit Enhancement Levels starting on page 72 of our 20202021 Form 10-K.

Under our MPF Program for non-government insured/guaranteedconventional loans held in our portfolio, the loan payment forbearance offered to borrowers impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic allows a borrower to defer loan payments for up to 180 days without requiring documentation from the borrower to support the relief requested. Borrowers that continue to be impacted by COVID-19 may request extensions of the loan payment forbearance for additional periods of up to a total cumulative forbearance period of 2124 months. A hardship certification from the borrower supporting the continued hardship due to the COVID-19 pandemic is required for approval of additional payment forbearance. During forbearance, late fees are not assessed. At the end of forbearance, borrowers are presented with options for bringing their mortgage loan to a current status.

For government insured or guaranteed loansGovernment Loans held in our portfolio, the forbearance plan requirements of the insuring or guaranteeingguarantying agency must be followed. For MPF Xtra loans that are serviced by PFIs or a servicing aggregator approved by the MPF Program, Fannie Mae’s forbearance plan requirements must be followed. The CARES Act requires that servicers servicing government insured or guaranteed loans and loans purchased by Fannie Mae offer their borrowersfollowed, which allow a payment forbearance plan with an initial forbearance period ofborrower to defer loan payments for up to 180 days with the availability of an additional 180 days for COVID-19 related hardship. Fannie Mae has amended its plan from the CARES Act requirements to offer their borrowers initial forbearance period of up to 180 days with the availability of additional periods of up to 365 days, not exceeding a total cumulative forbearance period of 18 months.

Borrowers who are in existing forbearance plans who have resolvedare evaluated for reinstatement, repayment, deferment, permanent loan modification, or liquidation options, as appropriate for their COVID-19 related financial hardships, and who are able to resume making their original monthly payments, but are unable to reinstate the loan by repaying the arrears, may be offered deferral plans allowing them to resume making those payments while deferring the COVID-19 related forbearance arrears to the earlier of the loan being paid off, the loan maturity date, or the sale of the property.situation.

In addition, the foreclosure moratorium will continue until at least December 31, 2021,

Mortgage Repurchase Risk

We are exposed to mortgage repurchase risk in connection with our sale of MPF Loans to Fannie Mae under the MPF Xtra product and to Ginnie Mae for MPF Loans securitized in Ginnie Mae MBS if a loan eligibility requirement or other representation or warranty is breached. We may require the PFI from which we purchased the ineligible MPF Loan to repurchase that loan from us or to indemnify us for related losses, or request indemnification from the PFI’s MPF Bank. Of these two products, our MPF Xtra product is the more popular, and during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we purchased and concurrently delivered $1.2 billion and $5.7 billion, respectively, in unpaid principal balance of these loans to Fannie Mae.

For additional details on our mortgage repurchase risk in connection with our sale of MPF Loans to third party investors and MPF Loans securitized into MBS when a loan eligibility requirement or other warranty is breached, see Mortgage Repurchase Risk on page 74 in our 20202021 Form 10-K.

Managing Our Credit Risk Exposure Related to Derivative Agreements

See Note 9 - Derivatives and Hedging Activities to the condensed financial statements for a discussion of how we manage our credit risk exposure related to derivative agreements. We have credit exposure on net asset positions where we have not received adequate collateral from our counterparties. We also have credit exposure on net liability positions where we have pledged collateral in excess of our liability to a counterparty.

The following table presents our derivative positions where we have such credit exposures. The rating used was the lowest rating among the three largest NRSROs. Non-cash collateral pledged consists of initial margin we posted through our FCMs, on behalf of the DCOs for cleared derivatives and is included in our derivative positions with credit exposure. We had no material concentration of credit risk with any one bilateral derivative counterparty.

Legislative and Regulatory Developments

Significant regulatory actions and developments are summarized below.

Amendments to FINRA Rule 4210: Margining of Covered Agency Transactions.On August 15, 2022, the SEC published amendments to Financial Industries Regulatory Interpretation on EligibilityAuthority (FINRA) Rule 4210 that delayed the effectiveness of Mortgage Participations as Collateralmargining requirements for FHLB Advances

Oncovered agency transactions from October 4, 2021,26, 2022, until at least April 24, 2023. Once the FHFA published a Regulatory Interpretation on Eligibility of Mortgage Loan Participations as Collateral for FHLB Advances. The Regulatory Interpretation addresses whether an FHLB can accept as collateralmargining requirements are effective, the Bank may be required to secure advances mortgage loan participationscollateralize its transactions that cannot be readily liquidated in the form inare covered agency transactions, which they areinclude to be pledged. The Regulatory Interpretation concludes that mortgage loan participations must meetannounced transactions (TBAs). These collateralization requirements could have the requirementseffect of FHFA regulation 12 CFR 1266.7(a)(4),reducing the overall profitability of engaging in covered agency transactions, including the requirement that the collateral can be “liquidated in due course” in order to be eligible to secure FHLB advances. It further concludes that participations for which there would be a known impediment to liquidationTBAs. We do not meet such requirement and therefore are not eligible collateral for advances. Finally, the Regulatory Interpretation rescinds prior guidance from FHLB System regulators that provided mortgage loan participations may be eligible as collateral under regulatory provisions other than 12 CFR 1266.7(a)(4). The Regulatory Interpretation becomes effective on December 13, 2021.

Although we do not currently expect the Regulatory Interpretationthis rule to have a material impacteffect on our financial condition or results of operations, this restriction on collateral may negatively impact future borrowing by certain members.

FHLBank Membership

On September 9, 2021, the FHFA published a Supervisory Letter on FHLB Membership Issues covering five issues, including (1) Requirements for De Novo Community Development Financial Institutions, (2) Automatic Transfer of Membership, (3) Large Non-Member Institution Merging with a Small Member, (4) Applicant’s Compliance with “Financial Condition” Requirement, and (5) Definition of Insurance Company. This Supervisory Letter is intended to provide uniform guidance to the FHLBs in the event they encounter similar circumstances.

We continue to evaluate this Supervisory Letter and its expected effect on Bank membership.

Fair Housing and Fair Lending Enforcement

On July 9, 2021, the FHFA published a Policy Statement on Fair Lending to communicate the FHFA’s general position on monitoring and information gathering, supervisory examinations, and administrative enforcement related to the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Housing Act, and the Federal Housing Enterprises Financial Safety and Soundness Act. This Policy Statement became effective on the date of publication.

On August 12, 2021, the FHFA and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development announced they had entered into a Memorandum of Understanding regarding fair housing and fair lending enforcement. Under the Memorandum of Understanding, the two agencies will focus on enhancing their enforcement of the Fair Housing Act and their oversight of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the FHLBs.

We continue to monitor these actions and guidance as they evolve and to evaluate their potential impact on us.

U.S. Treasury and Fannie Mae Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement

On January 14, 2021, the U.S. Treasury and Fannie Mae entered into a letter agreement amending the terms of their Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, which could impact PFIs that participate in the MPF Program’s MPF Xtra product (where MPF loans acquired are concurrently sold to Fannie Mae). Under the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, the U.S. Treasury provides liquidity to Fannie Mae in exchange for senior preferred stock. Under the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement amendment, which was to take effect January 1, 2022, the FHFA (acting as conservator for Fannie Mae) and the U.S. Treasury agreed to limit the dollar volume of loans Fannie Mae could purchase from a single seller through Fannie Mae’s cash window to $1.5 billion per year. As administrator of the MPF Program, we purchase MPF Xtra loans from PFIs and sell them to Fannie Mae via the cash window process. Based on recent volumes for the MPF Xtra product, the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement amendment would significantly curtail MPF Xtra cash window sales. On September 14, 2021, the FHFA and the U.S. Treasury temporarily suspended certain provisions of the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, including limits on Fannie Mae’s cash window limits, until at least September 14, 2022.

Although we do not currently expect the cash window limits to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations, they may negatively impact the volume of loans that PFIs are able to sell through the MPF Program unless we are successful in our efforts to develop a solution prior to reinstatement of the limits.

COVID-19 Developments

COVID-19 Presidential, Legislative and Regulatory Developments

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Presidents of the United States, through executive orders, governmental agencies, including the SEC, OCC, Federal Reserve, FDIC, National Credit Union Administration, CFTC and the FHFA, as well as state governments and agencies, have taken and may continue to take actions to provide various forms of relief from, and guidance regarding, the financial, operational, credit, market, and other effects of the pandemic, and Congress has enacted, and may continue to enact, pandemic relief legislation, some of which may have a direct or indirect impact on the Bank or its members. Many of these actions are temporary in nature. We continue to monitor these actions and guidance as they evolve and to evaluate their potential impact on us.

For further discussion of the risks and potential risks relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, see Risk Factors starting on page 23 of our 2020 Form 10-K.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Our Asset/Liability Management Committee and its subcommittees provide oversight of our risk management practices and policies. This includes routine reporting to senior Bank management and the Board of Directors, as well as maintaining the Income and Market Value Risk Policy, which defines our interest rate risk limits. See Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk on page 81 in our 2021 Form 10-K for further discussion on market risk.

The table below reflects the expected change in market value of equity for the stated increase or decrease in interest rates based on our models and related loss limit for each scenario established in the policy. For our down scenario shock analysis, the down shocks are constrained by scenarios provided by our regulator, which currently are limited so that shocked rates will not go negative.negative but are subject to change. As a result, where applicable, we flooredapply a floor to the down shock scenario at 10 bps. Due toIn the lowcurrent rate environment, this floor setting was not triggered for some downany of the shock scenarios presented below.

Measurement of Market Risk Exposure
To measure our exposure, we discount the cash flows generated from modeling the terms and conditions of all interest rate-sensitive securities using current interest rates to determine their fair values or spreads to the swap curve for securities where third party prices are used. This includes considering explicit and embedded options using a lattice model or Monte Carlo simulation. We estimate yield curve, option, and basis risk exposures by calculating the fair value change in relation to various parallel changes in interest rates, implied volatility, prepayment speeds, spreads to the swap curve and mortgage rates.
 
The table below summarizes our sensitivity to various interest rate risk exposures in terms of changes in market value:value.

As of September 30, 2021As of December 31, 2020As of September 30, 2022As of December 31, 2021

Mortgage Spread 

Yield curve risk – Change in market value for a one basis point parallel increase in the swap curve.
Option risk (implied volatility) – Change in market value for a one percent parallel increase in the swaption volatility.
Option risk (prepayment speeds) – Change in market value for a one percent increase in prepayment speeds.
Basis risk (spread to swap curve) – Change in market value for a one basis point parallel increase in the spread to the swap curve.
Basis risk (mortgage spread) – Change in market value for a one basis point increase in mortgage rates.

As of September 30, 2021,2022, our sensitivity to changes in implied volatility using these modelsa lattice model and Monte Carlo simulation was $(1)$4 million, unchanged from $(1)compared to $5 million at December 31, 2020.2021. These sensitivities are limited in that they do not incorporate other risks, including but not limited to non-parallel changes in yield curves, prepayment speeds, and basis risk related to differences between the swap and the other curves. Option positions embedded in our mortgage assets and callable debt impact our yield curve risk profile, such that swap curve changes significantly greater than one basis point cannot be linearly interpolated from the table above.

Duration of equity is another measure to express interest rate sensitivity. We report the results of our duration of equity calculations to the FHFA each quarter. We measure duration of equity in a base case using the actual yield curve as of a specified date and then shock it with an instantaneous shift of the entire curve.

The following table presents the duration of equity reported by us to the FHFA in accordance with the FHFA's guidance, which prescribes that down and up interest-rate shocks equal 200 basis points. The results are shown by duration of equity in years. The Bank engages in ongoing performance monitoring for its market risk-related models.

As of September 30, 2021,2022, on a U.S. GAAP basis, our fair value surplus (relative to book value) was $404$382 million, and our market value of equity to book value of equity ratio was 106%105%, compared to $330$458 million and 105%107% at December 31, 2020.
