The newly announced Financial Stability Plan is key to saving the nation's major banks & financial institutions. Among other goals, the plan aims to increase lending & encourage investment, both domestic & international.

However, investment from international sources has never been a problem during this economic crisis. Many investors have decided to place their funds in the United States due to the excellent security policies as well as overall financial stability in the country.
