Governmental Assistance to the Financial Sector: an Overview of the Global Responses (V7) Economic Stabilization Advisory Group | May 8, 2009 Governmental Assistance to the Financial Sector: an Overview of the Global Responses (v7) Governments across the world have taken, and continue to take, a variety of extraordinary measures to protect the financial sector and prevent a recession. The measures fall into the following categories: guarantees of bank liabilities; retail deposit guarantees; central bank assistance measures; bank recapitalization through equity investments by private investors and Governments; and open-market or negotiated acquisitions of illiquid or otherwise undesirable assets from weakened financial institutions. The purpose of this publication is to provide an overview of the principal measures that have been taken in the major financial jurisdictions to support the financial system. The first version of this note was published on November 12, 2008. Since then, Governments in some jurisdictions have adopted further measures or amended measures previously adopted. The current version of the note takes into account those measures and is based on information available to us on May 8, 2009. This publication does not cover various new regulatory restrictions on short selling. A separate Shearman & Sterling LLP publication, “Global Clampdown on Short Selling: an Overview”, deals with those measures as adopted in the major financial jurisdictions.

Quigley 8.1 Introduction The two large government- sponsored housing enterprises (GSEs),1 the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”), evolved over three- quarters of a century from a single small government agency, to a large and powerful duopoly, and ultimately to insolvent institutions protected from bankruptcy only by the full faith and credit of the US government. From the beginning of 2008 to the end of 2011, the two GSEs lost capital of $266 billion, requiring draws of $188 billion under the Treasured Preferred Stock Purchase Agreements to remain in operation; see Federal Housing Finance Agency (2011). This downfall of the two GSEs was primarily a question of “when,” not “if,” given that their structure as a public/private Dwight Jaffee is the Willis Booth Professor of Banking, Finance, and Real Estate at the University of California, Berkeley.

Üyesi V. Ferhan BENLİ İstanbul, 2018 ÖNSÖZ Çalışmalarım sırasında benden manevi desteklerini esirgemeyen sevgili babam Hayati ÇIRAK'a, annem Şükran ÇIRAK'a, kardeşim Emrah ÇIRAK'a ve arkadaşım Gökhan ÖZEN'e en içten teşekkürlerimi sunmayı bir borç bilirim. ÖZET Risk Yönetimi temel olarak işletmelerin varlığını sürdürmeye yönelik olası tehditleri tespit edip değerlendirerek önlemeyi veya minimize etmeyi amaçlayan bir sistemler bütünüdür. Bu kavram hayatımıza, 2001 yılında ülkemizde yaşanan Bankacılık Krizi ile girmiş ve Bankacılık Düzenleme ve Denetleme Kurulu'nun(BDDK) benimsediği uluslararası Basel Kriterleri ile tanınır hale gelmiştir. Türk Eximbank'ın ana hedef kitlesi Türkiye'de yerleşik ihracatçılar, ihracat odaklı üretim yapan imalatçılar ile yurtdışında etkinlik gösteren müteahhitler ve girişimciler olmakla birlikte Banka, ilgili gruplara kredi, sigorta ve garanti hizmetleri vermektedir. Bu çerçevede geniş yelpazede hizmet sunan Türk Eximbank'ta olası risklere karşı bütüncül ve uluslararası normlara uygun politikalar belirlenerek banka faaliyetleri ile ilgili riskler yönetilmeye çalışılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada ilk bölümde; Eximbank'ların Dünya Ticaret Finansmanındaki Rolü ve Önemi, Türk Eximbank’ı ticari bankalardan ayıran ve iş modeli ile risk yönetimi politikasını doğrudan etkileyen özellikleri ve Basel prensipleri incelenmiştir.

  • Primers Federal Home Loan Banks Feb. 8, 2021
    The NAIC’s Capital Markets Bureau monitors developments in the capital markets globally and analyzes their potential impact on the investment portfolios of U.S. insurance companies. Please see the Capital Markets Bureau website at INDEX. Federal Home Loan Banks Analyst: Jennifer Johnson Executive Summary • The Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) system was established in 1932 for the purpose of providing liquidity and transparency to the capital markets. • It is comprised of 11 regional banks that are government-sponsored entities (GSEs) and support the market for homes. These FHLB regional banks provide low-cost financing to member financial institutions, which in turn make loans to individuals. • Each FHLB regional bank is structured as a cooperative of mortgage lenders, or members, which sets its credit standards and lending policies. To become a member, a financial institution must purchase shares of the regional bank. • FHLB regional bank members may apply for a loan or “advance” based on required credit limits and borrowing capacity. Each loan or advance is secured by eligible collateral, and lending capacity is based on applicable discount rates on the eligible collateral. The more liquid and easily valued the collateral, the lower the discount rate. • Eligible collateral may include U.S. government or government agency securities; residential mortgage loans; residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS); multifamily mortgage loans; cash; deposits in an FHLB regional bank; and other real estate-related assets such as commercial What is thereal FHLB estate? loans. • U.S. insurers interact with the FHLB system via borrowing, investing in FHLB debt and owning stock in FHLB regional banks.
