“Good Bank Bad Bank: Increasing credit liquidity, stemming foreclosures and supporting the economy”
Wednesday, February 18, 2009; 5:00 – 6:30 pm
Booth Auditorium, UC Berkeley School of Law
Experts in economics, business, and public policy examined how Obama’s Financial
Stability Plan, announced February 10th by Treasury Secretary Geithner, will impact
taxpayers. Supporters say the plan will infuse cash into credit markets and stem foreclosures
by expanding capital and removing toxic assets. Panelists will discuss how to value foreclosed
homes and capital infusions so that the taxpayers are not on the hook for overpriced – and
overvalued – property.
