Agency Debt Update for 2019

On March 12, 2020, usgovernmentspending.com updated its data for agency debt from the Federal Reserve Board database. Data is now available for the period 1945-2019. You can see our Agency Debt page here, and a comparison with the official "on-the-books" debt here.

For the period 2020 to 2025 usgovernmentspending.com has "guesstimated" the agency debt, assuming that it increases at the same rate as it did in 2018 to 2019.

See "Federal 'Agency Debt' Added" for explanation of  data derivation.

Data is downloaded from the FRB data download page for "Financial Accounts of the United States (Z.1)" as follows.
  1. Select a preformatted data package: "L.211 (A) Agency- and GSE-Backed Securities, n.s.a."
  2. Click: Format package.
  3. Select: 100 years.
  4. Click: Go to Download.
  5. Click: Download File.
