Action: The Administration is reportedly considering plans for a public offering of a portion of the shares of the government sponsored enterprises (GSEs) Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which have operated under Federal conservatorship since the 2008 financial crisis. Press reports suggest the companies could be valued at a combined $500 billion, and previous analyses circulated within the Trump administration had estimated the government’s total stake in the GSEs could be worth $250 billion. However, many key questions remain unanswered, including the percentage of shares to be listed, what role the government would maintain after the IPO, whether the shares to be offered would have voting rights, and whether the companies would be combined as part of the process.Trusted Insights for What's Ahead®
