KBRA Releases Research – Coronavirus (COVID-19): Federal Rescue Response: The True Cost and Where the Money Is Going

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kroll Bond Rating Agency (KBRA) releases research focusing on the U.S. Treasury’s coronavirus (COVID-19) spending. To date, the budgetary impact is expected to be $2.4 trillion, well below the headline number of $3.6 trillion, with the lion’s share allocated toward economic considerations. Households take the largest slice of the pie.

In KBRA’s view, the Fed’s active purchase of Treasuries suggests that taxpayers may not be on the hook for the full sum.
