“While the SBA received the addition of ARPA and Economic Aid Act funds, overall total assets decreased by $335.1 billion for a FY 2021 total asset amount of $562.4 billion, due to a decrease in appropriations received for PPP, among other items. Total liabilities in FY 2021 were $504.0 billion compared to FY 2020 of $718.1 billion. The SBA’s net position and net cost of operations decreased compared to FY 2020,” reads the SBA Agency Financial Report for Fiscal Year 2021.
