The Federal Housing Finance Agency issued its 2017 scorecard outlining specific conservatorship priorities for Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and their Common Securitization Platform. The scorecard focuses on maintaining credit availability, reducing taxpayer risk, and further developing the CSP infrastructure.

However, ICBA is concerned that the scorecard doesn’t mention rebuilding the government-sponsored enterprises’ capital, which is in violation of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008. ICBA also is concerned that a Treasury draw by one or both of the GSEs could destabilize the mortgage market.
