Investments in Debt and Marketable Equity Securities (and Certain Trading Assets) Disclosure [Text Block] | Investments Interest-Bearing Deposits, Securities Purchased under Agreements to Resell, and Federal Funds Sold We invest in interest-bearing deposits, securities purchased under agreements to resell, and federal funds sold to provide short-term liquidity. These investments are generally transacted with counterparties that have received, or whose guarantors have received, a credit rating of triple-B or greater (investment grade) by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO), or the equivalent. At June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, none of these investments were made to counterparties or, if applicable, guaranteed by entities rated below single-A. Securities purchased under agreements to resell are short-term and are structured such that they are evaluated daily to determine if the market value of the underlying securities decreases below the market value required as collateral (i.e. subject to collateral maintenance provisions). If so, the counterparty must place an amount of additional securities as collateral or remit an equivalent amount of cash sufficient to comply with collateral maintenance provisions, generally by the next business day. Based upon the collateral held as security and collateral maintenance provisions with our counterparties, we determined that no allowance for credit losses was needed for our securities purchased under agreements to resell at June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021. Federal funds sold are unsecured loans that are transacted on an overnight term or short-term basis. FHFA regulations include a limit on the amount of unsecured credit we may extend to a counterparty. All investments in interest-bearing deposits and federal funds sold outstanding as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, have been repaid according to the contractual terms. No allowance for credit losses was recorded for these assets at June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021. Debt Securities We invest in debt securities, which are classified as either trading, available-for-sale, or held-to-maturity. We are prohibited by FHFA regulations from investing in certain higher-risk securities, such as equity securities and debt instruments that are not investment quality, other than certain investments targeted at low-income persons or communities, but we are not required to divest instruments that experience credit deterioration after their purchase.

We compute gains and losses on sales of investment securities using the specific identification method and include these gains and losses in other income (loss). The following table summarizes the proceeds from sale and gains and losses on sales of securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Such sales are treated as maturities for the purposes of security classification. The sale does not impact our ability and intent to hold the remaining investments classified as held-to-maturity through their stated maturity dates. Allowance for Credit Losses on Available-for-Sale Securities and Held-to-Maturity Securities We evaluate available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investment securities for credit losses on a quarterly basis. Our available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities are principally debt securities of GSE or U.S. government-owned corporations, supranational institutions, and state or local housing finance agency obligations, and MBS issued by Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac), and Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) that are backed by single-family or multifamily mortgage loans. We only purchase investment-grade securities. At June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, all available-for-sale securities and held-to-maturity securities were rated single-A, or above, by an NRSRO, based on the lowest long-term credit rating for each security. We evaluate individual available-for-sale securities for impairment by comparing the security’s fair value to its amortized cost. Impairment may exist when the fair value of the investment is less than its amortized cost (i.e. in an unrealized loss position). At June 30, 2022, certain available-for-sale securities were in an unrealized loss position. These losses are considered temporary as we expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis on these available-for-sale investment securities and we neither intend to sell these securities nor do we consider it more likely than not that we will be required to sell these securities before the anticipated recovery of each security's remaining amortized cost basis. Further, we have not experienced any material payment defaults on the instruments. Based on our assessment of the creditworthiness of the issuers or guarantors, no allowance for credit losses was recorded on available-for-sale securities at June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021. We evaluate held-to-maturity securities for impairment on a collective or pooled basis unless an individual assessment is deemed necessary because the securities do not possess similar risk characteristics. We have not experienced and do not anticipate any material payment defaults on these securities. Based on our assessment of the creditworthiness of the issuers or guarantors, no allowance for credit losses was recorded on held-to-maturity securities at June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021. |
