Treasury Releases Congressional Report on EESA

“The Treasury Department today released the report, United States Department of the Treasury Section 105(a) Troubled Asset Relief Program Report to Congress for the Period December 1, 2008 to December 31, 2008, required by section 105(a) of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act. The first in the series of reports was delivered on December 5, 2008.”

  • “The current financial crisis is one of the most serious and challenging in recent history. In response, Treasury has acted quickly and creatively to implement several programs under the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) with the following three critical objectives: one, to stabilize financial markets and reduce systemic risk; two, to support the housing market by avoiding preventable foreclosures and supporting mortgage finance; and three, to protect taxpayers. While there is no single action the Federal Government can take to end the financial market turmoil and the economic downturn, Treasury has focused on developing the most effective combination of tools to further stabilize the financial system and speed the process of economic recovery.”
