The Reconstruction Finance Corporation (RFC), established by Herbert Hoover in 1932, provided loans primarily to banks, railroads, and other large businesses to stabilize the economy during the Great Depression. Additionally, it extended financial support to state and local governments for public works projects and to agricultural organizations. The aim was to stimulate economic activity and restore confidence in the financial system. Ultimately, the RFC's loans were intended to prevent further bank failures and job losses.
