FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK OF NEW YORK
DECLARES A 5.90% DIVIDEND FOR THE FIRST QUARTER OF
2020
I am
pleased to announce that, on May 20, 2020, our Board of Directors
approved a dividend for the first quarter of 2020 of 5.90 percent
(annualized). The dollar amount of the dividend will be
approximately $85.9 million. The cash dividend will be distributed
on May 21, 2020.
The
Federal Home Loan Bank of New York is focused on serving as a
stable and reliable partner for our members in all operating
environments, as reflected in our ability to meet our
members’ needs amid a turbulent and unprecedented period in
the first quarter of 2020. This dependability extends to our
ability to provide a reasonable quarterly dividend. We believe that
this return on our members’ investment in our cooperative
enhances member value and reflects the strength of our
franchise.
The
health and economic crises resulting from COVID-19 are
unpredictable and may affect the environment in which the FHLBNY
operates. Changes to market and business conditions may
negatively impact our financial performance and level of dividends.
Throughout the remainder of the year, we will continue to assess
the potential effects of changes in the environment on our
financial performance and dividend strategy.
We
filed our Form 10-Q for the first quarter of 2020 with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission on May 8, 2020.
Sincerely,
José
R. González
President
and CEO
