Did the Small Banks Really Benefit From the TARP?
By mmanish on Business News | Wednesday July 14, 2010 09:21 am
Small banks have made little benefits through the program conducted by the Troubled Asset Relief. Wall Street was bailed out and warning has been issued that in the recent years to come the small banks would also be given a bail out as far as the taxpayers are concerned.

Wall Street is however, back from its previous condition and has now started making profits. These banks have however not received any boost from the bailout of the taxpayers. Thus it is clear that the Wall Street leaves the smaller banks behind.

According to the spokesman of the Treasury Department, Mark Paustenbach, the Troubled Asset Relief Program is no doubt useful for the smaller banks because it still provides them with relief.

There were around 707 banks that participated in the Capital Purchase Program or the bailout of the bank. Among these 707 banks, there were 690 smaller banks and they had assets of around $1 billion. Majority of the Wall Street banks have paid back the money and are out of the grips of the government. On the other hand among the 690 small banks that had a total amount of $40 billion, they could repay only $15 billion. Thus there are only few Wall Street banks that have to return the loans for the bailout.

The Treasury Department however, did not have a proper plan by means of which they could help the small banks to repay back their loans and consequently make exit from the program.

In the CPP program, the inclusion of small banks was correct. In a report published earlier it was clear that the loans for the bailout from the TARP definitely helped the small banks to make more loans to the customers as well as to the small businesses.
