TAF. A temporary program managed by the Federal Reserve. The program was created in December 2007, in order to help the mortgage market which was experiencing problems due to the subprime mortgage crisis. The program auctions collateralized loans to banks and other financial institutions, and the loans are offered at a rate lower than the discount rate.
