Net-Worth Certificate

Dictionary Says

Definition of 'Net-Worth Certificate'

An instrument used by the FDIC starting in 1982 as part of an effort to save failing banks and thrifts by providing capital. When deposit-rate restrictions that had existed for decades were lifted, banks and thrifts found themselves having to pay out more in interest on deposits than they were earning from their long-term investments, such as 30-year fixed-rate mortgages and government bonds. Net-worth certificates gave the banks and thrifts time to resolve their problems.
