WASHINGTON -(Dow Jones)- Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke on Tuesday told U.S. senators the central bank had to re-open a rescue program used during the financial crisis to prevent Europe's debt woes from spreading.
Sen. Richard Shelby of Alabama, the ranking Republican on the Senate Banking Committee, said at the end of the closed-door meeting that Bernanke warned lawmakers the European crisis was threatening U.S. banks.
The Fed on Sunday said it would revive swap lines with five foreign central banks, including the European Central Bank, which were used in 2008 to ship more than $500 billion to help them with dollar funding. Some lawmakers have criticized the move, saying it amounts to bailing out foreigners and is done in a secretive way.
In a related development, the Senate on Tuesday adopted an amendment to the financial-overhaul bill that would allow for a one-time government audit of all of the Fed's emergency lending programs from December 2007, including the loans with foreign central banks.
Zou kunnen. Een andere reden zou ik niet weten voor de plotselinge val.
