Meanwhile, mortgage insurers seek to confirm their place in housing-finance reform discussions. Although mortgage insurers are more stable today, emerging trends point to a number of potential risks to the GSEs that warrant monitoring. One of the OIG’s concerns is that relying on a small number of counterparties increases the GSEs’ exposure to any individual counterparty.
