Government Assistance to the Financial Economic Stabilization Advisory Group | February 27, 2009 Governmental Assistance to the Financial Sector: an Overview of the Global Responses (v5) 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 February 27, 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.

  • 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.

  • Switzerland in the Second World War
    To Our American Friends: Switzerland in the Second World War By Dr. Hans J. Halbheer, CBE Honorary Secretary of the American Swiss Foundation Advisory Council in Switzerland and a Visiting Scholar at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, California Dr. Halbheer wrote the following essay in 1999 to offer a Swiss perspective on some issues of the recent controversy to American friends of Switzerland. In addressing the arguments raised by U.S. critics of the role of Switzerland during the Second World War, I am motivated both by my feelings of friendship towards America and by my Swiss patriotism. For both of these reasons, I feel deeply hurt by both the charges against my country and the vehemence with which they have been expressed. During a recent period of residency at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, one of the leading U.S. think tanks, I sought to present my personal standpoint regarding the lack of understanding about Switzerland’s role during the Second World War in many discussions with Americans both young and old. On these occasions, I emphasized my awareness of the fact that the criticisms of Switzerland came only from a small number of Americans. Despite the settlement reached in August 1998 between the two major Swiss banks (Credit Suisse Group and UBS) and two Jewish organizations (the World Jewish Congress and the World Jewish Restitution Organization), the matter has still not run its course, although it has widely disappeared from the American media. Unfortunately, I must maintain that as a result of the generally negative portrayal of Switzerland over the past few years, the image of Switzerland has suffered.

  • Fiscal Conservatism and Autonomy Without Much Coordination
    Nils Soguel The Swiss cantons: Fiscal conservatism and autonomy without much coordination Working paper de l’IDHEAP 13/2014 Unité de recherche en finances publiques Nils Soguel The Swiss cantons: Fiscal conservatism and autonomy without much coordination Working paper de l’IDHEAP 13/2014 Unité de recherche en finances publiques The Swiss cantons: Fiscal conservatism and autonomy without much coordination Nils Soguel* Institut de hautes études en administration publique-IDHEAP, University of Lausanne, Switzerland May, 2014 Abstract This paper presents the way the Swiss cantons were impacted by the 2008 financial crisis and its aftermaths, and the way they reacted. The Federal Constitution of the Swiss Confederation provides that “the Confederation [central government], the Cantons [sub-central governments] and the Communes [local governments] shall take account of the economic situation in their revenue and expenditure policies (Art.100, al.4)”. Simultaneously, it stipulates that “Cantons are sovereign except to the extent that “their sovereignty is limited by the Federal Constitution” (Art.3). Thus the cantons benefit from far-reaching political, financial and fiscal autonomy. In the past and despite the provision of Art.100, most of them have made use of this autonomy to engage in pro- cyclical fiscal policies. The pro-cyclical behaviour stems from a culture of rather conservative fiscal policy. This culture has indeed been transposed by individual cantons into their own legislation governing their public finance. Most have chosen to legally cap the deficit or even ban that possibility—often referred to as budget constraints—regardless the macroeconomic conditions. This particular institutional setting points towards the difficulty to conduct a consistent macroeconomic policy not only between the different tiers of government, but also between the fiscal and the monetary policies.

  • Elizabeth a Duke: a Framework for Analyzing Bank Lending
    Elizabeth A Duke: A framework for analyzing bank lending Speech by Ms Elizabeth A Duke, Member of the Board of Governors of the US Federal Reserve System, at the 13th Annual University of North Carolina Banking Institute, Charlotte, North Carolina, 30 March 2009. The original speech, which contains figures and various links to the documents mentioned, can be found on the US Federal Reserve System’s website. * * * In August 2008 I joined the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, leaving behind a 30-year career as a commercial banker to become a central banker. My time as a commercial banker spanned numerous business cycles. It also encompassed at least one severe financial system crisis, in the late 1980s through the early 1990s, albeit one that was not as severe as the current one. From my time as a commercial banker, I already understood the factors considered by bankers in the initial lending decision as well as those in loss mitigation when collecting those same loans. As a central banker, I have come to appreciate even more fully the role of credit in our economic well-being. So I thought it would be appropriate for me to provide my perspective on credit conditions in our economy and the current crisis. Today, I would like to discuss a three-dimensional view of the flow of credit to households and businesses and describe the evolving role of banks in the U.S. economy. I will begin by taking a look at recent trends in aggregate borrowing by households and by the nonfinancial business sector.
