"The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) is pleased that an important step toward returning private capital to the mortgage market occurred today. At FHFA’s direction, Freddie Mac has released historical single-family, loan-level credit performance data. We expect Fannie Mae to release data—similar in detail and scope—in the near term.
"These data releases pave the way for Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae to pursue risk-sharing transactions to gradually contract their dominant presence in the marketplace, a key goal of the Strategic Plan for Enterprise Conservatorships."
