In another economic development, the U.S. Treasury Department on Friday outlined factors it says it will use as guidelines to save important financial institutions from bankruptcy on a case-by-case basis.
In the guidelines for its Targeted Investment Program (TIP), the Treasury Department says factors include the extent an institution is important to the nation's financial and economic system.
The department also unveiled separate guidelines for a new insurance program that provides government backing for a financial institution's potential losses from troubled assets.
I don't understand what's the meaning of the paragraph above so far. "The department also ....troubled assets....". I guess it means the department showed some guidelines to save the financial problems, something like that.
The definition of unveil: to remove a curtain-like covering from a new statue, etc. at a formal ceremony in order to show the opening or completion of a new building or work of art
