Press Release issued October 2, 2007 - FHLBNY ADVANCES INCREASE TO $74.5 BILLION IN SEPTEMBER.

FHLBNY ADVANCES INCREASE TO $74.5 BILLION IN SEPTEMBER

New York, New York - The Federal Home Loan Bank of New York ("FHLBNY") today announced that the level of collateralized loans outstanding to its members as of the end of September, referred to as advances, was $74.5 billion, an increase of approximately $8.0 billion since August 31, 2007. Advances are used by members to support their lending and residential mortgage operations.

"This increase advance activity is another indication that strong demand for mortgage credit is being filled by our community based member lenders," said Mr. DelliBovi. "We are experiencing this solid growth because the loans our community member lenders make are solidly underwritten and made in a responsible manner."

FHLBNY disclosed information about its recent advance activity following a statement issued by the Federal Home Loan Bank’s Office of Finance that noted the 12 FHLBanks provided about $53 billion of liquidity in the form of advances to their member institutions during the disruptions in the credit markets in September.

The par value of advances does not include fair value adjustments for advances resulting from hedge accounting (SFAS 133) or premiums and discounts on advances.

The Federal Home Loan Bank is a AAA rated, wholesale bank. It is part of the Federal Home Loan Bank System, a national wholesale banking network of 12 regional, stockholder-owned banks. The Federal Home Loan Bank serves 300 community lenders in New Jersey, New York, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The mission of the Federal Home Loan Banks is to advance housing opportunity and local community development by maximizing the capacity of community-based member-lenders to serve their markets.
