Stay safe, everybody. Treasury, HUD submit housing reform plans Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson submitted two plans to the White House yesterday for ending the conservatorship of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, restructuring the government guarantees for housing loans, and protecting taxpayers from further liability. The Treasury report calls for almost 50 legislative changes to limit the government’s role in the secondary market, enhance taxpayer protections, and encourage private-sector competition. “At the same time, reform should not and need not wait on Congress,” the report said. The HUD plan would “refocus” the Federal Housing Administration on its “core mission of helping low- and moderate-income borrowers.” Mnuchin, Carson, and Federal Housing Finance Administration Director Mark Calabria will appear before the Senate Banking Committee next Tuesday to discuss the plans. Senate Banking Committee Chairman Mike Crapo (R- ID) said yesterday that many of the Treasury plan’s provisions corresponded to elements of his own proposal, and that he would prefer “to fix the housing finance system through legislation.” Federal Reserve proposes capital requirements for insurance companies that own banks Today the Federal Reserve published a long-awaited proposal to create a capital framework for the eight insurance companies that own banks.
