bailout funds
Emergency financial aid
Bailout funds are money provided to rescue a failing company, bank, or economy from collapse.
Governments typically supply bailout funds during financial crises to prevent wider economic damage: The bank received billions in bailout funds during the 2008 crash.
The term often carries political charge, with critics viewing such funds as rewards for reckless behavior.
