Summary:

Recoveries on assets sold by the Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC) to help pay for the savings and loan bailout are falling. From June 1991 to December 1992, estimated recovery rates for assets declined 9 cents per dollar of book value, from 60 cents on the dollar to 51 cents on the dollar. In a June 1993 report (GAO/AIMD-93-6), GAO indicated that although RTC's estimated recovery rates for receivership assets were based on the best available information, changes in economic conditions, interest rates, and real estate markets could affect the value of assets in resolved and unresolved institutions. Due to improving economic conditions, RTC has realized higher rates of recovery on its asset sales than previously estimated. Because RTC's remaining assets are considered hard to sell, however, it is difficult for RTC to predict the recovery rates and timing of sales.
