Federal Reserve Offers TALF To Commercial Lending

Is this another indicator that the next wave of bad loans is going to be coming out of the commercial real estate market? The federal governments Term Asset Backed Loan Program (TALF) is now getting into the commercial real estate lending market.

While this is not necessarily bad, there are a great deal of commercial loan issues coming to the surface, the question still arises how the government is constantly changing the rules of the game with our taxpayer money throwing it at Wall Street and the banks.

The program, which will be launched in June, will provide government five-year loans to investors so they can buy commercial real estate securities. The goal is to revive lending in this market. The program is part of a larger Federal Reserve endeavor called the Term Asset Backed Lending Program launched in November, which seeks to bolster the market for consumer loans, automotive loans, credit card debt and small business loans.
The Fed had indicated earlier this year that it planned to provide funding for commercial mortgage-backed securities, or CMBS, but hadn’t provided details about the program and its launch date until Friday.  via MarketWatch.

  1. It is amazing how the Government can at will create monies for commercial endeavors, but if they had spent a fraction on the housing problem would have fixed the issues in our economy by now. I have come to the conclusion we have self serving politicians that could not punch their way out of a wet paper bag.
