(Estates Gazette Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) commercial real estate lending and commercial mortgage securities will be included in the U.S. Treasury, multi-billion-dollar plan to strengthen the balance sheets of banks and loan kickstart.

The plan unveiled by U.S. Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner on Monday, is designed to take toxic assets - particularly loans and loans secured against commercial and residential property - the balance sheets of banks, in order to avoid the risk of suffering further losses, and allocate more capital to loans.

The U.S. Treasury and the Federal Deposit Insurance Co provide loans and equity to help private companies such as ponds Blackrock to buy loans and bonds.

Will Marks, an analyst at JMP Securities, said: "In our opinion, the new [scheme] will help to create liquidity and thus drive at least some degree of activity that are now dead commercial real estate investment sales markets. "The United States goes beyond the level of asset protection schemes revealed by the Kingdom in February. The United Kingdom planguarantees only some of the losses that banks will make these loans and bonds, but leaves still in the balance sheet. The banks have yet to decide whether to hold or to close the troubled loans.
