The Commercial Paper Funding Facility, Explained

Title: The Commercial Paper Funding Facility, Explained
Runtime: 2:37
Date posted: 6 years ago
Description: The Commercial Paper Funding Facility, or CPFF, is one of several lending facilities established by the Federal Reserve to support the economy through the Coronavirus Pandemic.

But what is commercial paper? Why is the commercial paper market important to households and businesses and the overall economy? And how does the Commercial Paper Funding Facility actually work?

Commercial paper is like a short-term IOU issued by companies and local governments, used to raise money that directly supports a wide range of economic activity—like providing financing for auto loans, and meeting the issuers’ day-to-day operational needs such as payments for inventories and payrolls.

Description: The March 2020 SCE Labor Market Survey showed an uptick in expected likelihood of unemployment → nyfed.org/sce-labor

At a Glance: Findings from the March SCE Labor Market Survey:

Among respondents who were employed four months ago, 89.1 percent were still employed in March 2020, compared to 96.7 percent in November 2019 and 92.4 percent in March 2019. This decline was due to an uptick in transitions into unemployment (from 3.4 percent in March 2019 to 5.7 percent), as well as an increase in transitions out of the labor force (from 4.2 percent in March 2019 to 5.3 percent); both series reached new highs. The increase in each series was broad-based across age, education, and income groups.

The proportion of individuals who reported searching for a job in the past four weeks rebounded from a series low of 16.2 percent in November 2019 to 21.3 percent in March 2020.

Description: The spread of COVID-19 is profoundly affecting communities across the country → nyfed.org/communities-at-risk

Information about the populations who are at the greatest health and economic risk is essential for local policymakers, nonprofits, and other stakeholders aiming to mitigate the effects of the disease.

The newly released maps from the New York Fed help to locate the communities most vulnerable to COVID-19 across the nation, the Federal Reserve’s Second District, and New York City.

The maps examine the 94 million Americans living in neighborhoods with lower income levels, as well as the more than 50 million Americans ages 65 years and older.

The maps also provide detailed information about places with higher shares of part-time, non-salaried employees, in order to gauge the likelihood of unemployment claims.

Finally, the maps identify communities where fewer individuals have health insurance.
