United States Department of the Treasury Fourth Tranche Report to Congress, January 7, 2009

摘要

This Fourth Tranche Report to Congress meets the requirement for reporting at the $250 billion commitment level under section 105(b) of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (EESA). The recent transactions under the newly established Automotive Industry Financing Program and Targeted Investment Program, when combined with $187.5 billion of transactions under the Capital Purchase Program and the $40 billion transaction under the program for Systemically Significant Failing Institutions, bring the total amount of transactions to $266.9 billion. Treasury will submit the next report when transaction levels reach the $300 billion level. The Report addresses the following six areas: A description of all the transactions made during the reporting period; A description of the pricing mechanism for the transactions; A justification of the price paid for, and other financial terms associated with, the transactions; A description of the impact of the exercise of such authority on the financial system; A description of the challenges that remain in the financial system, including any benchmarks yet to be achieved; and An estimate of additional actions under the authority provided pursuant to the EESA that may be necessary to address such challenges.
