Thrift Industry Problems: Potential Demands on the FSLIC (Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation) Insurance Fund

摘要

The report contains a briefing on the condition of the thrift industry and its implications for the financial condition of the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation's (FSLIC) fund. In general, the information contained in the report indicates that the thrift industry is composed of two segments: one with firms which are insolvent and generally unprofitable and the other, larger segment that is solvent and generally profitable. The condition of the poorly performing segment raises questions about the dollar amount of assistance that may potentially be demanded from the FSLIC fund.
