New TALF (Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility) program launches in June<\/span>.<\/p>\n

On Friday, the\u00a0Federal Reserve announced\u00a0that it will launch a much-awaited program in June to bolster commercial real-estate lending.\u00a0\u00a0 And, to help make the program more attractive to investors, the Fed will provide longer, five-year loans. Investors would use the money to buy securities backed by commercial real-estate loans.<\/p>\n

The goal is to boost the availability of these loans, help prevent defaults on commercial properties like office parks and malls, and facilitate the sale of distressed properties, the Fed said.<\/p>\n

The new commercial real-estate component is part of a broader program rolled out in March that aims to jump-start lending to consumers and small businesses called the Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility, or TALF.<\/p>\n

It figures prominently in efforts by the Fed and the Obama administration to ease credit stresses and stabilize the financial system. Those are critical elements needed to lift the country out of recession.<\/p>\n

The TALF has the potential to generate up to $1 trillion in lending for households and businesses.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, the government said it planned to expand the TALF to include help for commercial real estate lending.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a looming crisis in commercial real estate whereby owners of shopping malls, hotels, rental properties and many other types of buildings are unable to refinance or to pay for new construction,\u201d Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke warned lawmakers on Capitol Hill in March.<\/p>\n

The market for so-called commercial mortgage-backed securities, or CMBS, came to a \u201cstandstill in mid-2008,\u201d the Fed said Friday in announcing the launch of the new piece of the TALF program. The CMBS market accounted for almost half of new commercial mortgage originations in 2007, the Fed said.<\/p>\n

The commercial real-estate lending industry especially welcomed the Fed\u2019s decision to offer longer loans.<\/p>\n

\u201cA five-year term is more consistent with the longer-term nature of commercial lending and will provide more flexibility to borrowers as they navigate the current real-estate cycle,\u201d said Christopher Hoeffel, president of the Commercial Mortgage Securities Association.<\/p>\n

The association \u201cstrongly advocated for a term of five years to kickstart investor demand,\u201d he added.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 To read the article in it’s entirety click here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
