federal discount window

基本解释

Lehman Brothers had access to the Federal Reserve's discount window, after all, but still went under.
雷曼也曾擁有在聯儲貼現窗口借錢的權利，不過依舊難逃厄運。
The FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee), the discount window, open market operations – what exactly do they mean?
聯邦公開市場委員會，貼現窗口，公開市場活動– 它們的確切含義是什麽？
Separately, the Federal Reserve said Fannie and Freddie could get financing at its discount window, a privilege previously available only to banks.
另外，聯邦儲備侷（美聯儲）也對Fannie和Freddie兩公司做出承諾，允許它們在其貼現窗口融資，以前這是衹有銀行才能享受到的特權。

Investment banks face the potential of losing access to the Federal Reserve's discount window on Sept. 14, which is the earliest the central bank said it would consider whether to continue to allow the access.
