Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac provide liquidity and support for the U.S. mortgage market. For the past 16 years, the two enterprises have been subject to close supervision by the federal government. The arrangement, also known as ‘conservatorship,’ was established in 2008 after the collapse of the housing market. Conservatorship has, at times, restricted Fannie and Freddie’s ability to raise capital. With President Trump’s second term underway, some prominent voices are calling for Fannie and Freddie’s return to private markets. The move could potentially impact the rates offered for new mortgages in the U.S..
 
房利美(Fannie Mae)和房地美(Freddie Mac)為美國抵押貸款市場提供流動性和支持。在過去的16年里,這兩家公司一直受到聯(lián)邦政府的嚴格監(jiān)管。這種安排,也被稱為“保管托管”,是在2008年房地產(chǎn)市場崩潰后設(shè)立的。保管托管在某些時候限制了房利美和房地美籌集資金的能力。在特朗普總統(tǒng)的第二個任期內(nèi),一些重要聲音呼吁將房利美和房地美重新交回私人市場。此舉可能會對美國新抵押貸款的利率產(chǎn)生影響。
