Fed Expands TALF to Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities

The Federal Reserve announced this afternoon that starting in June, commercial mortgage backed securities (CMBS) would be eligible assets for the Term Asset Backed Securities Loan Facility (TALF). The Fed is also expanding the term on some CMBS TALF loans to five years, up from three year terms for other assets. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York plans to set up a separate TALF subscription cycle for CMBS, which will occur later each month than the regular TALF cycle. The longer-term CMBS loans will also have larger haircuts.
