Meaning and History
What is Fannie Mae?
The Federal National Mortgage Association participates in the housing finance sector in the United States. It is a government-sponsored enterprise that buys and insures mortgages from lenders on the secondary mortgage market. Liquidity in the mortgage market increases through this process, allowing banks and other financial institutions to offer more home loans to borrowers. The agency operates behind the scenes to maintain a stable and reasonably priced housing market rather than directly providing mortgages to buyers. Mortgages are bundled into mortgage-backed securities for the company’s investors, which helps distribute risks and attract foreign capital to the U.S. housing market.
