ABSTRACT
The article reports that U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner urged banks that had received government assistance or bailouts during the global financial crisis to increase their lending, particularly to small business, so that the recovery from recession could continue. Geithner noted that the bailout was primarily if not solely responsible for the recovery in bank profits in 2009.
