FRB: H.4.1 Release-- Factors Affecting Reserve Balances -- Thursday, January 5, 2023 [1]

[]

Date: 2023-01-05

The Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY) and the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston (FRBB) have extended loans to limited liability companies under the authority of section 13(3) of the Federal Reserve Act. On June 5, 2020, FRBNY began extending loans to the Municipal Liquidity Facility LLC (MLF LLC), a limited liability company formed to purchase municipal notes from eligible issuers. The assets of the MLF LLC and the amount provided by U.S. Treasury as credit protection to the FRBNY are used to secure the loan from the FRBNY. On June 25, 2020, FRBNY began extending loans to the TALF II LLC, a special purpose vehicle that was formed to help support the flow of credit to consumers and businesses. The assets of the TALF II LLC and the amount provided by U.S. Treasury as credit protection to the FRBNY are used to secure the loan from the FRBNY. On July 15, 2020, the FRBB began extending loans to the MS Facilities LLC (Main Street Lending Program), a special purpose vehicle that was formed to help ensure credit flows to small and medium-sized businesses and to eligible nonprofits. The assets of the MS Facilities LLC and the amount provided by U.S. Treasury as credit protection to the FRBB are used to secure the loan from the FRBB.

The FRBNY is the managing member of MLF LLC and TALF II LLC. The FRBB is the managing member of MS Facilities LLC (Main Street Lending Program). Consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, the assets and liabilities of each LLC have been accounted for and consolidated with the assets and liabilities of the FRBNY or FRBB, in the preparation of the statements of condition shown on this release. As a consequence of the consolidation, the loan from the Reserve Bank to the LLC is eliminated as are any balances held at the FRBNY for LLCs consolidated to FRBNY or FRBB for LLCs consolidated to FRBB. Treasury contributions to credit facilities are held at FRBNY until invested. Net assets of the LLC appears as assets on table 6 (and in table 1 and table 5), and the liabilities of the LLC to entities other than the FRBNY or FRBB, including those with recourse only to the portfolio holdings of the LLC, are included in other liabilities in this table (and table 1 and table 5). The amount provided by U.S. Treasury as credit protection to FRBNY and FRBB appears as liabilities on table 6 (and in table 1 and table 5).
