FDIC News Alert

FDIC News Alert

The Wall Street Journal reported that on Tuesday May 19, 2009, Congress “signed off on allowing the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. to borrow as much as $100 billion from the Treasury Department and extending the agency’s new deposit-insurance limit of $250,000 through 2013.”

The extension of the $250,000 insurance level through 2013 is significant both for protecting assets but also providing more flexibility in investment decisions as to amount and timing.
