Fed’s Barr Declares End to Emergency Loan Program Amid Banking Stability Michael Barr, the Fed’s vice chair for supervision, announced that the Federal Reserve’s Bank Term Funding Program, initiated during last year’s regional banking crisis, will not be extended past its March 11 expiration. The program, designed as a temporary measure to alleviate financial system stress, allows banks and credit unions to borrow funds for up to a year. Despite a surge in borrowing due to anticipations of interest rate cuts, Barr emphasized its emergency nature and expects its usage to continue until the deadline. Barr also addressed questions about potential changes to capital requirements for major Wall Street banks and their impact on consumer credit and affordable mortgages. « Previous Article Next Article » Share This Article Choose Your Platform: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Linkedin Related Posts Brooklyn Pawnshop Sees Surge in Gold Sales Amid Price Rally READ MORE Crude Prices Dip Below $75 Amid Ceasefire Talks Between Israel and Hamas READ MORE The Asset that Soared 100X Past Gold READ MORE Gold Recycling Rises in India During Wedding Season Amid High Prices READ MORE Precious Metal Prices Climb on Powell's Rate Cut Signal READ MORE Add a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
