On July 28, the Federal Reserve announced that seven of its COVID-19 emergency lending facilities that were set to expire on or around September 30 have been extended to December 31.
These deadline extensions come after multiple comments from Fed officials regarding the importance of the public health response and the uncertainty regarding how long the crisis will last. Federal Reserve officials are meeting on July 28 and 29 but are not expected to announce new stimulus measures.
