Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) Director Bill Pulte stated that Freddie Mac, along with Fannie Mae, would remain in government conservatorship. He also indicated an expectation to sell about 5% of the companies into the public markets. This statement provides clarity on the immediate future of the mortgage giants, suggesting a partial public offering rather than a full privatization.
Pulte's remarks clarify the administration's approach to the GSEs, which has been a subject of intense speculation. While a partial public sale could generate revenue and introduce private capital, the continued conservatorship means the government retains significant control over Freddie Mac's operations and strategic direction.
