Troubled Asset Relief Program : Status of Treasury's Investments in General Motors and Ally Financial, Report to Congressional Committees

DATE: October 2013

ABSTRACT:

As part of its Auto Industry Financing Program (AIFP), funded through the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), Treasury committed $67.3 billion to automaker GM and to Ally Financial, a large bank holding company whose primary business is auto lending. TARP’s authorizing legislation mandates that GAO report every 60 days on TARP activities.



This report examines (1) the current financial condition of the two companies and (2) the status of Treasury’s investments in the companies and its plans to sell those investments.



To examine the financial condition of GM and Ally Financial, GAO reviewed industry, financial, and regulatory data for the time period from the beginning of 2008 through the second quarter of 2013. GAO also reviewed Treasury reports and documentation detailing Treasury’s investments in GM and Ally Financial and its proposed strategies for divesting itself of the investments, as well as both companies’ financial filings and reports. In addition, GAO interviewed officials from Treasury, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve (Federal Reserve), GM, Ally Financial, and financial analysts who study GM and Ally Financial.



In its written comments on a draft of this report, Treasury describes the auto industry’s recovery and the progress Treasury has made in unwinding its investments in GM and Ally Financial. Treasury, the Federal Reserve, GM, and Ally Financial also provided technical clarifications, which were incorporated, as appropriate.
