Fannie Mae-No Politics (FNMA)

[GAK-]

Tim Howard:

"With a $70 billion cap on both companies’ external capital raises while in conservatorship, Fannie would need to retain at least $46 billion in earnings (and more with growth) to meet the 3% capital threshold, while Freddie only would need to retain $13 billion. It’s also curious (to me, at least) that Treasury would think either company could raise $70 billion in outside capital while still controlled in conservatorship by a hostile FHFA director."
