Capital Availability • Needed a $5 billion line of credit for auto supply chain in 2009 • Lending has declined $4.2 trillion since Fall of 2008; 9 straight quarters of decline in in lending to non-financial businesses (Treasury) • Credit-worthy small businesses experience difficulty obtaining loans (Fed) • Commercial & industrial loans down from $1.6 trillion (2008) to $1.24 trillion (2011) (Fed) • Small business lending down 8.3% 2008-2010 (SBA) • 43% of small businesses reported challenges in gaining access to credit; 57% of applications to large national banks rejected, compared with 41% for community & regional banks (Atlanta Fed) • Banks holding $2 trillion in cash uncommitted to loans

  7. Some exceptions to the rule... • Patriarch Partners: committed to American manufacturing • Wilbur Ross: positive role in restructuring steel & auto parts industries to make competitive

  8. Policy Options • Require more transparency in long-term strategies • Compensation package adjustments • Sliding scale of shareholder voting rights • Link tax breaks/subsidies to duration of holdings • Enhance SBA/Treasury loan guarantee programs • Manufacturing finance facility • National Infrastructure Bank • On with the great rebalancing, internally and globally
