- Fannie Mae's and Freddie Mac's Financial Problems: Frequently Asked Questions
- Recent turmoil in the housing and financial markets have caused concern over the future of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which are chartered by Congress as government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) and are widely believed to have an implicit guarantee from the federal government.

This report analyzes various aspects of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in relation to the financial turmoil that began in September 2008. digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metacrs10771/
