On April 9, 2020, the Federal Reserve Board announced the purchase of up to $600 billion in loans to small and mid-sized businesses through the Main Street Lending Program, authorized under section 13(3) of the Federal Reserve Act. The Treasury Department will provide $75 billion in equity to the Main Street Lending Program using funding from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act).
