While small business advocates are hopeful about the program, questions do remain about the loan volumes expected and the readiness of all parties in getting this up and running tomorrow.
, in a White House press conference Thursday evening, said the program "will be up and running tomorrow."
One source said the officials did not say if they were confident or not about bank's willingness to lend, but instead justified the low interest rates being given to small business owners, which were dropped from an initial maximum of 4%. On Thursday evening, Mnuchin said the interest rates were being raised to 1% after hearing concerns from banks.
The biggest concern from both sources on the call seemed to be whether the banks would have enough clarity to feel comfortable and confident participating in the loan program, which will operate as first-come, first-served for small business owners.Meanwhile, advocacy groups are remaining hopeful the loans will be made available as banks work quickly to get programs in place.
