Public Private Investment Program (PPIP)

program proposed by the Treasury department under President Obama to entice private institutional investors to buy up toxic assets from banks at deep discounts from face value. The concept was to relieve banks of the burden of these defaulted and delinquent loans and provide private hedge funds and private equity funds an opportunity to profit by buying these assets at attractive prices.
