To date, taxpayers have recovered a total of $440.4 billion on TARP investments including the sale of Treasury’s AIG shares, compared to $426.3 billion disbursed. Of the 707 banks
that received TARP investments through the Capital Purchase Program, only 34 remain in the program. For details on Treasury’s lifetime cost estimates for TARP programs, please visit
