The Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati today released unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022.
For the second quarter, net income was $41 million and return on average equity (ROE) was 3.38 percent. This compares to net income of $0.3 million and ROE of 0.03 percent for the same period of 2021. For the first six months of 2022, net income was $57 million and ROE was 2.48 percent, compared to net income of $19 million and ROE of 0.97 percent for the same period of 2021.
Total assets at June 30, 2022 were $103.1 billion, an increase of $42.4 billion (70 percent) from year-end 2021.
Mission Assets and Activities - comprising major activities with members including Advances, Letters of Credit (off-balance sheet), and the Mortgage Purchase Program - were $100.3 billion at June 30, 2022, an increase of $35.1 billion (54 percent) from year-end 2021. The growth in Mission Assets and Activities was driven by a $33.0 billion increase in Advance balances. The increase in Advances was primarily due to members' higher demand for liquidity, especially short-term Advances, in light of the increasing interest rate environment and uncertainties in the financial markets.
