Risk Management

FCSIC’s primary purpose is to insure the timely payment of principal and interest on Systemwide debt securities. The System banks, through the jointly owned Federal Farm Credit Banks Funding Corporation, issue Systemwide debt securities, insured by FCSIC, to fulfill their mission. Anything impairing the System banks’ ability to repay their insured debt constitutes an insurance risk. To carry out our mission, FCSIC monitors conditions in the farm, rural, domestic, and global economies that affect the System’s ability to repay insured debt obligations.
