RFC Loans and Security Standards in New Bill
The article explains how the RFC may lend secured or unsecured funds with flexible collateral. Jones says any collateral can be accepted if it provides reasonable repayment assurance. The RFC could invest capital but not purchase stock, with loan powers around 1.5 billion dollars but expected lending in the few hundreds of millions. Banks should originate loans. if not, RFC underwrites or funds the remainder. Most loans incur 5 percent interest, higher when a joint loan with a small bank is involved. The bill also plans to reopen RFC lending to states and public agencies, with Congress urged to pass tax revisions to restore business confidence.
