Fed lays out details for bank loans
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal Reserve is providing more details about when it will make billions of dollars in short-term loans available to squeezed banks.
The loans — part of an effort to ease intensifying credit stresses — are made available to banks through auctions. The Fed — in coordination with other countries’ central banks engaged in similar efforts — laid out dates that it will conduct the auctions through the rest of this year.
To help ease credit stresses, the Fed announced Monday it will provide as much as $900 billion in cash loans to banks. Most of the loans are for 28-days and 84-days. Some are shorter — 13-day and 17-day loans.
