Billionaire investor Bill Ackman suggested merging U.S. government-sponsored enterprises Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in an X post. Ackman proposed that combining the two mortgage giants would help reduce mortgage rates and achieve significant synergies in their operations and trading prices. This proposal comes amid ongoing discussions about the future of the GSEs.
Ackman's suggestion highlights a potential path for restructuring the U.S. housing finance system. A merger could lead to a more streamlined and efficient market, but would also involve complex regulatory and operational challenges.
