Total assets at March 31, 2019 were $69.0 billion, compared with $72.8 billion at December 31, 2018.

The Bank's short-term liquidity portfolio, which is comprised substantially of overnight interest-bearing deposits, overnight federal funds sold, overnight reverse repurchase agreements, U.S. Treasury Bills and U.S. Treasury Notes with short remaining terms to maturity, totaled $12.4 billion at March 31, 2019, compared to $12.2 billion at December 31, 2018.
The Bank's retained earnings increased to $1.121 billion at March 31, 2019 from $1.081 billion at December 31, 2018. On March 27, 2019, a dividend of $19.1 million was paid to the Bank's shareholders.
