Transactions with Other FHLBanks

The FHLB notes all transactions with other FHLBanks on the face of its financial statements. Occasionally, the FHLB loans short-term funds to and borrows short-term funds from other FHLBanks. These loans and borrowings are transacted at then current market rates when traded. There were no such loans or borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016. The following table details the average daily balance of lending and borrowing between the FHLB and other FHLBanks for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

In addition, the FHLB may, from time to time, assume the outstanding primary liability for Consolidated Obligations of another FHLBank (at then current market rates on the day when the transfer is traded) rather than issuing new debt for which the FHLB is the primary obligor. The FHLB then becomes the primary obligor on the transferred debt. There were no Consolidated Obligations transferred to the FHLB during the six months ended June 30, 2017 or 2016. The FHLB had no Consolidated Obligations transferred to other FHLBanks during these periods.
