International Economics
The Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) is a program enacted by the U.S. government in 2008 to purchase toxic assets and inject capital into banks during the financial crisis. TARP was designed to stabilize the financial system, restore confidence, and prevent further economic collapse by providing banks with the necessary liquidity to continue operations. This program is significant in understanding the broader implications of government intervention during global financial crises and the potential for contagion across markets.
