On December 18, 2024, National Rural Utilities Cooperative Finance Corporation (“CFC”) closed on a $450 million Series V committed loan facility from the U.S. Treasury Department’s Federal Financing Bank (“FFB”) guaranteed by the United States of America, acting through the Rural Utilities Service. Under this Series V facility, CFC is able to borrow any time before July 15, 2029, with each advance having a final maturity not longer than 30 years from the advance date. Interest rates, including all fees (30 basis points of which are used to support the United States Department of Agriculture’s Rural Economic Development Loan and Grant Program), will be at a spread over comparable maturity Treasury Bonds as follows:

10 years or less 42.5 basis points
Greater than 10 years 55 basis points

This new commitment increases total funding available to CFC under committed loan facilities from the FFB to $1,650 million. The proceeds of the guaranteed loans are to be used by CFC to make loans for any utility infrastructure purpose eligible under the Rural Electrification Act of 1936, as amended, or to refinance bonds or notes issued for such purposes.
