Which of the following statements is true regarding FIRREA?

FIRREA, the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act, was enacted in response to the savings and loan crisis of the 1980s and early 1990s. The act's primary objective was to establish a structured framework for resolving failed financial institutions, thereby ensuring the stability of the banking system and protecting depositors and stakeholders. By creating mechanisms such as the Resolution Trust Corporation, FIRREA addressed the issues associated with the collapse of numerous savings and loans and provided a path for their resolution.

The act implemented new regulations and oversight for failed institutions while introducing reforms aimed at preventing similar failures in the future. This is why the statement regarding FIRREA establishing a framework for resolving failed financial institutions is accurate.

The other statements do not align with the purpose of FIRREA. The act is not focused on deregulating the banking industry; rather, it introduced more stringent regulations in response to previous failures. It does not primarily relate to the insurance industry; its focus is on financial institutions. Additionally, FIRREA has significantly impacted consumer lending practices by establishing guidelines and requirements that lenders must follow, rather than having no impact at all.
