U.S. government to buy up toxic assets via public-private partnerships.(Inside Track)(Brief article)
The Obama administration's long-awaited proposal to remove so-called "toxic" mortgage-backed assets from U.S. banks was finally unveiled on March 23. According to details of the plan, the government will form public-private partnerships to buy up the assets, putting up $7 in cash and $86 in government loans for every $7 spent by private capital pools like hedge funds. The expectation is that, once the markets begin to rise and these mortgaged-backed assets recover their value, both taxpayers and private investors stand to gain. Should the assets lose further value, of course, both investors and taxpayers will be on the hook--mainly taxpayers.
