Banks’ Financing Corporation obligations will be calculated according to the new assessment base set by the Dodd-Frank Act: average assets less Tier 1 capital.
Under the current assessment base, the annual assessment rate for the FICO bonds is 1.04 basis points. Under the broader new assessment base, which will go into effect in 2011’s second quarter, it is estimated that the rate for banks will decline to 0.66 basis points while raising the same amount to cover the FICO interest obligation.
