While markets wait for Congress to finalize another economic relief bill days before many benefits expire, the Federal Reserve has announced it will extend all its pandemic-enacted lending facilities through the end of the year. They were due to expire around Sept. 30.
“The three-month extension will facilitate planning by potential facility participants and provide certainty that the facilities will continue to be available to help the economy recover from the COVID-19 pandemic,” according to the Fed statement.
The extensions apply to the Fed’s Primary Dealer Credit Facility, the Money Market Mutual Fund Liquidity Facility, the Primary Market Corporate Credit Facility, the Secondary Market Corporate Credit Facility, the Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility, the Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility, and the Main Street Lending Program.
The Municipal Liquidity Facility and Commercial Paper Funding Facility did not require any extension since the first was already set to expire on Dec. 31 and the latter has an expiration date of March 17, 2021.
