Seven Things to Know About CBO's Budgetary Treatment of Potential Changes to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac

Congressional Budget Office

No 61374, Reports from Congressional Budget Office

Abstract: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were chartered in 1938 and 1970, respectively, as government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) to ensure a stable supply of credit for mortgages nationwide. After operating independently for decades, the two GSEs were placed in federal conservatorships in 2008. In January 2025, the Federal Housing Finance Administration announced that it will seek comments on options to end the GSEs' conservatorships.
