Fannie, Freddie government guarantee should be limited: U.S. housing finance chief

WASHINGTON - The head of the U.S. Federal Housing Finance Agency said on Thursday that Congress should create a “limited” explicit guarantee for government-sponsored enterprises Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

Fannie and Freddie have operated under government conservatorship since they were bailed out during the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis. Washington has struggled for years to devise a plan to safely return the companies, which guarantee over half of the nation’s mortgages, to the private sector. This week Calabria wrote to Congress asking lawmakers for more powers to overhaul the country’s housing system, including the ability to boost competition by creating more GSE charters, FHFA said in its annual report to Congress.
