Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On February 21, 2018, the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines (the “Bank”) issued a news release to report its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2017, and to declare a fourth quarter 2017 cash dividend for both average activity-based capital stock and average membership capital stock outstanding during the quarter. The annualized dividend rate approved was 4.50 percent for activity-based capital stock and 2.00 percent for membership capital stock. The effective combined annualized dividend rate for the Bank on both subclasses of capital stock outstanding will be 4.03 percent; however, the effective combined dividend rate on the total capital stock held by each shareholder depends on their level of activity with the Bank during the quarter. A copy of the news release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.
