Treasury Department
The Treasury Department's efforts consist of several programs, which are authorized for different periods of time and receive different levels of funding. Because several of these programs include terms that allow the government to receive a return on its investment, it will take time before the precise subsidy cost of each program can be determined.
By clicking on Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac, users can see estimates of federal subsidies to these institutions, and going to the TARP Disbursements page allows users to view the TARP data by transaction, recipient and date. Also, visit our TARP Subsidies page for some initial estimates of TARP subsidy levels.
Our TARP Warrants page shows an interactive table that allows users to track certain Treasury Department TARP investments in real time. Subsidyscope also highlights a discrepancy between the way Treasury publicly described pricing for warrants and terms found in the final contracts with many TARP recipients, which may have resulted in Treasury receiving less favorable pricing on these warrants.
Subsidyscope has posted an interactive map that provides a fresh perspective on the size and scope of the bailout. Mapping which communities received funds through the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) can help the public track and evaluate the large sums of money injected into financial institutions across the country. Other attempts at geographic analysis, including the recent launch of the Treasury Department's Local Impact map, have largely failed to recognize the complexity of the financial industry and do not paint a complete picture of the geography of funds distributed. Subsidyscope improves upon such efforts and presents a map that illustrates the geography of bank branch locations, deposits and lending activity across the country, on a county-by-county basis.
