Notes:Gross Outlays are actual expenditures of the US Treasury and/or the Federal Reserve Board to assist institutions during the financial crisis of 2008. For instance, under TARP the US government injected capital into big financial institutions to bolster their balance sheets. Net Outlays are actual expenditures of the US Treasury and/or the Federal Reserve Board less the amounts repayed by the recipients since the financial crisis of 2008. Guarantees are undertakings by US Treasury and/or the Federal Reserve Board to provide assistance during the financial crisis if needed. For instance the Federal Reserve Board asserted that it would guarantee $5.5 trillion in money market funds without actually lending any money to anyone. | |||
