The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) did not directly fund the 2008 bank bailout; instead, the bailout was primarily executed through the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), which cost around $700 billion. The FDIC's role involved stabilizing the banking system by providing insurance for deposits and facilitating the resolution of failed banks. Although the FDIC faced increased costs due to bank failures during the crisis, its specific costs related to the bailout are less clearly defined in the context of TARP. Overall, the financial impact of the crisis on the FDIC's Deposit Insurance Fund was significant, leading to a temporary increase in bank premiums to replenish the fund.
