Fed’s Powell says Main Street may use up to $30 billion by year end

(Reuters) – The Federal Reserve’s Main Street Lending facility may lend as much as $30 billion by the end of the year, Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in testimony before the Senate Banking Committee.

“The total loans might be, I don’t know, you know, $10, $20, $30 billion by the end of the year, that’s with leverage” he said in the last of three hearings in which he testified before Congress this week.
