Governmental Response to Economic Crisis

The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (EESA) will have long-term implications for U.S. financial institutions and the global economy as a whole. Although the details of this act and the related Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) are still unfolding, Crowe Horwath LLP has established a leadership team to monitor the developments and help keep you informed.



EESA, TARP, and the Office of Financial Stability
EESA provides the U.S. secretary of the Treasury broad authority to take action toward restoring liquidity and stability to the U.S. financial system. The primary mechanism for immediate relief under EESA is the $700 billion TARP, which – under the direction of the newly created Office of Financial Stability – authorizes the Treasury secretary to purchase troubled assets directly from financial institutions, establish a program to guarantee the troubled assets of financial institutions, and directly purchase the equities of financial institutions.

The Treasury has begun implementing measures necessary to execute TARP and will continue to outline additional details in the coming weeks.


Keeping You Informed
Crowe’s thought leaders – practicing professionals in your industry – will continue to closely monitor this situation with an eye on the issues impacting your organization including:

  • Tax implications of EESA's programs
  • Impending financial services regulatory reform
  • Evaluating potential strategic opportunities and threats
