Fannie Mae’s and Freddie Mac’s Financial Problems
Description:
This report presents, in analytical question and answer form, the issues surrounding the financial
conditions of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which are stockholder-owned government-sponsored
enterprises (GSEs). Their federal charters give the GSEs special public policy goals aimed at
providing liquidity in the mortgage market and to provide access to homeownership for
underserved groups and locations. In return, their charters give the GSEs a special relationship
with the government.
