At the Bank
Advances Averaged $94.6 Billion
In May, advances averaged $94.6 billion. Although this is a $2.0 billion decrease from April’s average, May’s average is up $8.5 billion from May 2008 and up $34.5 billion from May 2007. Month-end advances totaled $95.1 billion. Overall advance demand is still low as member lenders continued to experience increased retail deposit growth and the effects of general deleveraging are being seen. The broader advance picture underscores the point that the Home Loan Bank is a trusted source of liquidity for the housing market. We are a support player as we assist the community banker who is there to make responsible loans.
Regional Meeting Completed for the Year
This past week, the Home Loan Bank of New York completed its eighth and final business update forum for 2009. Beginning in Buffalo in February, and moving through upstate and downstate New York, north and south New Jersey, and finally Puerto Rico, we met with over 100 member lenders and 180 senior executives. We discussed our solid performance record and the strength of the New York Bank amid the market turbulence. We look forward to keeping up an open dialog and to responding quickly to our members/owners. If you would like to discuss these business update meetings, please contact Kevin Neylan, SVP and Head of Strategy and Business Development, at (212) 441-6818 or Adam Goldstein, SVP and Head of Sales and Marketing, at (212) 441-6703.
