FDIC Seeks Comment on the Recently Announced Legacy Loans Program FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) today announced the opening of the public comment period for the Legacy Loans Program (LLP). The FDIC and the Department of the Treasury recently announced the LLP, which will remove troubled loans and other assets from FDIC-insured institutions and attract private capital to purchase the loans. The FDIC is requesting comment from interested parties on the critical aspects of the proposed LLP. The program is intended to boost private demand for distressed assets that are currently held by banks and facilitate market-priced sales of troubled assets. It is necessary because uncertainty about the value of these assets makes it difficult for banks to raise capital and secure stable funding to support lending to households and businesses. The LLP, announced by the Administration
on Monday, will combine an FDIC guarantee of debt financing with
equity capital from the private sector and the Treasury. The
partnerships will purchase assets from banks and place them into
what will be known as Public-Private Investment Funds (PPIF).
For providing a guarantee, the FDIC will
be paid a fee, a portion of which will be allocated to the Deposit
Insurance Fund. The FDIC will be protected against losses by
the equity in the pool, the newly established value of the pool's
assets and the fees collected. The FDIC is seeking public comment from
interested parties on the critical aspects of the LLP. Comments
are requested no later than April 10. | ||||
