The U.S. Treasury Department and the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) announced amendments to their agreements with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. These changes are designed to ensure that the companies' eventual exit from conservatorship is not disruptive to the housing market.
The agencies also stated that they would solicit public comments before either government-sponsored enterprise is released from federal control. This process indicates a structured approach to a potential privatization.
Exiting conservatorship would mark a key milestone for Fannie Mae, fundamentally reshaping its structure and operations. This development provides a clearer, though still conditional, path towards a significant long-term strategic shift for the company.
