The ranking member of the Senate Banking Committee has demanded that the FHFA director meet with committee staff to prove the GSEs’ new pricing grids don’t amount to more cross-subsidy.

Concerns voiced by Senate Democrats appear to have prompted an FHFA review of how the GSEs sell their nonperforming and reperforming loans.

Fannie and Freddie modified their policies to support lower-income borrowers by allowing greater use of downpayment assistance and equity-sharing programs.

The chair of the Senate Banking Committee wants FHFA to examine the implications of the Federal Home Loan Banks becoming the lender of last resort for struggling financial institutions.

The head of single-family collateral risk management at Fannie Mae took a deep dive on the topic in a recent blog post.

FHFA does not adequately track employee benefit information or monitor the withholding on employee cash awards.

The regulator will require additional sign-offs and documentation before the FHLBanks can change their internal market risk models.

The new rule would solidify the GSEs’ equitable housing finance plans, fair housing reporting and collection of language preference data.

Properties with mortgage loans backed by Fannie green bonds saved the equivalent of 11.8 trillion BTUs in energy last year.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac released tables showing the replacement rates and tenor spreads for most legacy securities still indexed to LIBOR.
