Following fifteen consecutive monthly declines, the cost of funds index (COFI) for the 11th District savings institutions rose 0.07% -- or seven basis points -- from the prior month to 2.723%. The COFI, which reflects the interest paid by savings institutions in Arizona, California, and Nevada on their various sources of mortgage money, had fallen to its lowest point in decades.
| The Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco reports the COFI about thirty days following the end of each month. The monthly COFI reflects the actual interest expenses recognized during a given month by all savings institution members |
