“The regulator of mortgage finance giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac detailed plans Monday to begin contracting their business while merging their securitization operations. Federal Housing Finance Agency acting director Edward DeMarco said the two, rescued by the government in 2008 in a $180 billion bailout after the housing market collapse, needed to begin reducing their dominance of the market as private financing makes a comeback. One effort planned for this year is to raise the fees they charge to mortgage lenders for guaranteeing their loans, reducing the market’s near-complete dependence on the two.”
