☆ Life insurers binge on US financing aimed at helping housing

It has been predominantly used by life insurers, because they need to boost their investment returns with cheap funding to meet long-term liabilities. They provide the cheap funding to banks and insurers in exchange for collateral to ensure they get their money back. Insurers are entitled to tap FHLB funding. Insurers’ borrowing from FHLBs picked up in 2008 financial crisis, as those that spread themselves thin with aggressive investments scrambled for cash. They did not explain why insurers need FHLB funding to invest in mortgages.

☆ US regulators consider to limit major lenders' borrowings from FHLBs - Bloomberg News

REUTERS/Sarah Silbiger/File PhotoJune 30 (Reuters) - U.S. officials are considering to limit the ability of large banks to use Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLBs) as a financial backstop, as part of a broader proposal to overhaul the system, Bloomberg News reported on Friday. The Federal Housing Finance Agency might still adjust its plans before announcing the recommendations in the coming months, the report added. Federal Home Loan Banks are 11 U.S. government-chartered institutions that raise money for low-cost lending to their member regional banks. For many of the member banks, they are a preferred final stop for cash before banks in need turn to the Federal Reserve itself as a last resort. Federal Housing Finance Agency did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
