Small Business Lending Program
Bank Loans to Spur Small Biz Lending
$30 billion would be transferred out of the TARP for this program, which would make investments in small and mid-size banks (those with less than $10 billion in assets), with the goal of spurring those banks to in turn make loans to small businesses. Notably, the plan calls for transferring the funds out of the oft-maligned TARP to a totally separate program in order to avoid TARP restrictions (including limits on executive compensation).
