Financing

WASHINGTON -The Federal Reserve has extended the life of key programs aimed at busting through credit clogs and restoring stability to financial markets.

The Fed said Tuesday that the programs, originally slated to last through Jan. 30, will be extended through April 30. The Fed said it was taking the action “in light of continuing strains in financial markets.”
The Federal Reserve has gone to extreme lengths to free up credit markets that have impacted the US economy. One direct result of this action has been that in the past 30 days banks and other lending institutions have increased credit based lending to small businesses.
“It is clear that policy makers are taking steps to help small business get access to credit based funding and are focused on this segment of the economy.” Said CEO of Financing.org, Howard Witkin “We have been dealing with this problem for the past 12 months, but credit based funding is still available for both startups and established business, and the government is dedicated to see that Main Street is not left behind”, he added.
