How CBO Produces Fair-Value Estimates of the Cost of Federal Credit Programs: A Primer

Author

  • Congressional Budget Office

Abstract

The federal government supports some private activities by providing credit assistance to individuals and businesses. CBO uses two approaches for estimating the lifetime costs of federal credit programs: the accounting procedures prescribed by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990 (FCRA); and an alternative approach that accounts for the market value of the government’s obligations, known as the fair-value approach.
