Nov 14 (Reuters) - The U.S. Treasury's $700 billion bailout
plan known as TARP (Troubled Asset Relief Program) is one of
the main U.S. tools to address the financial crisis. [nCRISIS]
Friday was the deadline for banks to apply.
On Oct. 14, the Treasury Department set aside $250 billion
of the program to buy senior preferred shares and warrants in
banks, thrifts and other financial institutions. According to
the Treasury, half that money was allocated to nine big banks,
and, according to statements from individual banks, another $38
billion has been earmarked for regional or small banks.
