Note 7 — Consolidated Obligations Consolidated obligations, consisting of bonds and discount notes, are jointly issued by the Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLBanks) through the Office of Finance, which serves as the FHLBanks’ agent. As provided by the Federal Home Loan Bank Act of 1932, as amended (FHLBank Act) or by regulations governing the operations of the FHLBanks, all FHLBanks have joint and several liability for all FHLBank consolidated obligations. For a discussion of the joint and several liability regulation, see “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Note 15 – Commitments and Contingencies” in the Bank’s 2023 Form 10-K. In connection with each issuance of consolidated obligations, each FHLBank specifies the type, term, and amount of debt it requests to have issued on its behalf. The Office of Finance tracks the amount of debt issued on behalf of each FHLBank. In addition, the Bank separately tracks and records as a liability its specific portion of the consolidated obligations issued and is the primary obligor for that portion of the consolidated obligations issued. The Finance Agency and the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury have oversight over the issuance of FHLBank debt through the Office of Finance.
