New White Paper from Wolters Kluwer Law & Business Details Troubled Asset Relief Program

(RIVERWOODS, ILL., March 11, 2011) – Wolters Kluwer Law & Business has published A Retrospective of the Troubled Asset Relief Program, a new white paper by Banking Law Analyst Katalina M. Bianco, JD. Wolters Kluwer Law & Business is a leading provider of research information and software solutions in key specialty areas for legal and business professionals (wolterskluwerlb.com).

In the white paper, Bianco provides a compelling timeline beginning with the events leading up to the implementation of the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) as a key aspect of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (EESA) to the aftermath of TARP, including the latest reported TARP recovery figures from the Treasury.

The white paper explores the details, evolution and key developments of the program; outlines specific programs under the TARP umbrella; describes the oversight measures and sunset of TARP, as well as responses and outcomes of the program.

“Although TARP has expired, the pros and cons of the legislative response to the financial crisis continue to be hotly debated. Taxpayers, oversight committees, economists and lawmakers all have different opinions on the ‘bailout’ measure,” said Bianco. “And the question of weather TARP was a success seems as controversial as the program itself.”
