The Federal Reserve published a hypothetical economic collapse for banks to use in their annual stress test this year. The same scenario might be used by FHFA for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

Fannie Mae has added three new attributes to its daily prepayment report for mortgage-backed securities. The enhancements will provide timely data on principal reductions.

The capital markets teams at Fannie and Freddie churned out a reperforming loan sale, a Guaranteed Multifamily Structures deal and a Structured Agency Credit Risk transaction.

A tangled web of climate risk, shady insurers, shoddy ratings services and lax insurance rules at the GSEs may snarl Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in unexpected counterparty risk.

The new framework for social bonds links them more directly to the Mission Index, formerly known as the Social Index.

Under the terms recommended in FHFA’s review of the Federal Home Loan Banks, 85 current members would fail to meet the 10% mortgage-related asset rule.

The enterprise will offer new single-family green disclosures that will allow investors to easily identify mortgage-backed securities that consist of loans eligible for Fannie’s green bonds programs.

Although most top-10 GSE lenders increased deliveries to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in November, MBS issuance declined by 7.0% on a monthly basis.

This week, the GSEs began providing investors the Social Density Score and Social Criteria Share attributes for Supers and Megas.

As expected, the amended enterprise regulatory capital framework reduces the risk weight for commingled securities from 20% to 5%.
