Select Components of Total Assets

2007, during 2011, the Bank made new loans
or renewed existing loans totaling $877 million.
Includes $278 million of deposits at the
Federal Reserve Bank earning 0.25%
21
 
 
 

 
 
Net Interest Margin
The decline in the net interest margin since 2009 was caused by
a planned build-up of lower yielding short-term investments to
augment liquidity and a reduction in total loans to preserve
regulatory capital ratios.

Analysis of Net Interest Income
The decline in net interest income since 2009 was driven by a
decrease in average interest earning assets and a drop in the net
interest margin.
