The CPFF provides a liquidity backstop to U.S. issuers of commercial paper through a dedicated funding vehicle that will purchase eligible three-month unsecured and asset-backed commercial paper from eligible issuers using financing provided by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The vehicle will hold the commercial paper until maturity and will use the proceeds from maturing commercial paper and other assets of the vehicle to repay its loan from the New York Fed.
The vehicle will cease purchasing commercial paper on March 31, 2021, unless the Federal Reserve Board of Governors and the Department of the Treasury extend the facility.
