The Fed reported what it calls"other credit" fell to $63.07 billion on Wednesday, from $81.9 billion on Sept. 27. The credit is being used by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to deal with bank failures from the spring. This type of credit stood at zero at the start of March, peaked at $228.2 billion on May 3, and has been falling by a notable amount since the middle of September.We encourage you to use comments to engage with other users, share your perspective and ask questions of authors and each other.
