GOVERNMENT–SPONSORED ENTERPRISES
This chapter contains descriptions of the data on the Government-sponsored enterprises listed below. These enterprises
were established and chartered by the Federal Government
for public policy purposes. They are not included in the Federal Budget because they are private companies, and their
securities are not backed by the full faith and credit of the
Federal Government. However, because of their public purpose, detailed statements of financial condition are presented,
to the extent such information is available, on a basis that
is as consistent as practicable with the basis for the budget
data of Government agencies. These statements are not reviewed by the President; they are presented as submitted
by the enterprises.
—The Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation provide assistance

served areas. Fannie Mae engages primarily in two forms
of business: guaranteeing residential mortgage securities and
investing in portfolios of residential mortgages.
The Federal Government has equipped Fannie Mae with
certain advantages over wholly private firms in carrying out
these activities. These include an exemption from State and
local taxes (except real property taxes), and an exemption
of its debt and mortgage securities from Securities and Exchange Commission registration requirements. An additional
advantage is that the Secretary of the Treasury may purchase
and hold up to $2.25 billion of securities issued by Fannie
Mae under terms and conditions and at prices determined
by the Secretary to be appropriate. Securities guaranteed and
debt issued by Fannie Mae are solely the corporation’s obligations and are not backed by the full faith and credit of the
U.S. Government. The common stock of the corporation is
owned by the public, is fully transferable, and trades on the
New York, Midwest, and Pacific stock exchanges.
Fannie Mae was established in 1938 to assist private markets in providing a steady supply of funds for housing. Fannie
Mae was originally a subsidiary of the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation and was permitted to purchase only loans insured
by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). In 1954,
Fannie Mae was restructured as a mixed ownership (part
government, part private) corporation. Legislation directed
the sale of the Government’s remaining interest in Fannie
Mae in 1968 and completed the transformation to private
shareholder ownership in 1970. Using the proceeds from the
sale of subordinated debentures, Fannie Mae paid the Treasury $216 million for the Government’s preferred stock, which
was retired, and for the Treasury’s interest in the corporation’s earned surplus. As a result, the corporation was taken
off the Federal Budget.
In 1992, the Congress reaffirmed and clarified Fannie Mae’s
role in the housing finance system through charter act
amendments included in the Federal Housing Enterprises Financial Safety and Soundness Act of 1992 (Act). Fannie Mae’s
charter purposes, as amended by the Act, are: ‘‘to provide
stability in the secondary market for residential mortgages;
respond appropriately to the private capital market; provide
ongoing assistance to the secondary market for residential
mortgages (including activities relating to mortgages on housing for low- and moderate-income families involving a reasonable economic return that may be less than the return earned
on other activities); and promote access to mortgage credit
throughout the Nation (including central cities, rural areas,
and underserved areas) by increasing the liquidity of mortgage investments and improving the distribution of investment capital for residential mortgage financing.’’ For additional discussion and analyses of Fannie Mae, please see the
Analytical Perspectives volume of the Budget documents.

According to accounting practices for private corporations,
the mortgages in the pools of loans supporting the mortgagebacked securities are considered to be owned by the holders
of these securities. Consequently, on the books of Fannie Mae,
these mortgages are not considered assets and the securities
outstanding are not considered liabilities. However, the concepts of the budget of the U.S. Government consider these
mortgages and mortgage-backed securities to be assets and
liabilities, respectively, of Fannie Mae. For the purposes of
this document, therefore, they are presented as assets and
liabilities in the accompanying schedules. On the schedule
of Status of Direct Loans for mortgage-backed securities, the
items labeled ‘‘New loans’’ and ‘‘Recoveries: Repayments and
prepayments’’ are budgetary terms. However, from Fannie
Mae’s perspective, these items are ‘‘Amounts issued’’ and
‘‘Amounts passed through to the holders of securities’’, respectively.
Financial data for Fannie Mae is not presented here because Fannie Mae has not provided audited financial results
for 2007.

The Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie
Mac) is a Government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) in the
housing finance market. The Administration has announced
a proposal to strengthen regulation of all the housing GSEs,
including Freddie Mac.
As a housing GSE, Freddie Mac is a Federally-chartered,
shareholder-owned, private company with a public mission
to provide stability and increase the liquidity of the residential mortgage market, and to help increase the availability
of mortgage credit to low- and moderate-income families and
in underserved areas. Freddie Mac engages primarily in two

The Federal Government has equipped Freddie Mac with

New York and Pacific stock exchanges.
Freddie Mac was established in 1970 under the Emergency
Home Finance Act. The Congress chartered Freddie Mac to
provide mortgage lenders with an organized national secondary market enabling them to manage their conventional
mortgage portfolio more effectively and gain indirect access
to a ready source of additional funds to meet new demands
for mortgages. Freddie Mac serves as a conduit facilitating
the flow of investment dollars from the capital markets to
mortgage lenders, and ultimately, to homebuyers.
The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA) significantly changed the corporate governance of Freddie Mac. The company’s three memSfmt 3604

The Federal Home Loan Bank System is a Governmentsponsored enterprise (GSE) in the housing finance market.
The Administration has announced a proposal to strengthen
regulation of all the housing GSEs, including the Federal
Home Loan Bank System.
The Federal Home Loan Banks were chartered by the Federal Home Loan Bank Board under the authority of the Federal Home Loan Bank Act of 1932 (Act). The 12 Federal
Home Loan Banks (FHLBanks) are under the supervision
of the Federal Housing Finance Board (FHFB). The common
mission of FHLBanks is to facilitate the extension of credit
through their members. To accomplish this mission,
FHLBanks make loans, called advances, and provide other
credit products and services to their 8,149 member commercial banks, savings associations, insurance companies, and
credit unions. Advances and letters of credit must be fully
secured by eligible collateral and long-term advances may
be made only for the purpose of providing funds for residential housing finance. However, ‘‘community financial institutions’’ may also use long-term advances to finance small businesses, small farms, and small agribusinesses. Additionally,
specialized advance programs provide funds for community
reinvestment and affordable housing programs. All regulated
financial depositories and insurance companies engaged in
residential housing finance are eligible for membership. Each
FHLBank operates in a geographic district designated by the
Board and together FHLBanks cover all of the United States,
as well as the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin
Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana
Islands.
The principal source of funds for the lending operation is
the sale of consolidated obligations to the public. The consolidated obligations are not guaranteed by the U.S. Government
as to principal or interest. Other sources of lendable funds
include members’ deposits and capital. Funds not immediately
needed for advances to members are invested.
The capital stock of the Federal Home Loan Banks is owned
entirely by the members. Initially the U.S. Government purchased stock of the banks in the amount of $125 million.
The banks had repurchased the Government’s investment in
full by mid–1951.
The Act, as amended in 1989, requires each FHLBank to
operate an Affordable Housing Program (AHP). Each
FHLBank provides subsidies in the form of direct grants or
below-market rate advances for members that use the funds
for qualifying affordable housing projects. Each of the
FHLBanks must set aside annually the greater of $100 million or 10 percent of its previous year’s net earnings for the
AHP. The Act, as amended in 1999, also requires that
FHLBanks contribute 20 percent of net earnings annually
to assist in the payment of interest on bonds issued by the
Resolution Funding Corporation.

In 2002, the Administration requested all GSEs, including
FHLBanks, to voluntarily register their equity securities with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This voluntary registration is part of the Administration’s efforts to
have GSEs undergo the same scrutiny process as other corporate enterprises. FHFB adopted a rule on June 23, 2004
that requires each FHLBank to register a class of its stock.
All of the Federal Home Loan Banks complied by 2006.

FARM CREDIT SYSTEM
The Farm Credit System is a Government-sponsored enterprise that provides privately financed credit to agricultural
and rural communities. The major functional entities of the
system are: (1) Agricultural Credit Bank (ACB); (2) Farm
Credit Banks (FCB); and (3) direct lender associations. The
history and specific functions of the bank entities are discussed after the presentation of financial schedules for each
bank entity. As part of the Farm Credit System (FCS), these
entities are regulated and examined by the Farm Credit Administration (FCA), an independent Federal agency. The administrative costs of FCA are financed by assessments of system institutions and the Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation. System banks finance loans from sales of bonds
to the public and their own capital funds. The system bonds
issued by the banks are not guaranteed by the U.S. Government either as to principal or interest. The bonds are backed
by an insurance fund, administered by the Farm Credit System Insurance Corporation (FCSIC), an independent Federal
agency that collects insurance premiums from member banks
to pay its administrative expenses and fund insurance reserves. All of the banks’ current operating expenses are paid
from their own income and do not require budgetary resources
from the Federal Government.

The Agricultural Credit Act of 1987 (1987 Act) required
the Federal Land Banks (FLBs) and Federal Intermediate
Credit Banks (FICBs) to merge into a Farm Credit Bank
(FCB) in each of the 12 Farm Credit districts. FCBs operate
under statutory authority that combines the prior authorities
of a FLB and of a FICB. No merger occurred in the Jackson
district in 1988 because the FLB of Jackson was in receivership. Pursuant to section 410(e) of the 1987 Act, as amended
by the Farm Credit Banks Safety and Soundness Act of 1992,
FICB of Jackson merged with FCB of Columbia on October
1, 1993. Mergers and consolidations of FCBs across district
lines that began in 1992 have continued to date. As a result
of this restructuring activity, 4 FCBs, headquartered in the
following cities, remain: AgFirst FCB, Columbia, South Carolina; AgriBank FCB, St. Paul, Minnesota; U.S. AgBank, FCB,
Wichita, Kansas; and FCB of Texas, Austin, Texas.
FCBs serve as discount banks and as of October 1, 2007
provided funds to 9 Federal Land Credit Associations (FLCA)
and 86 Agricultural Credit Associations (ACAs). These direct
lender associations, in turn, make short-term production loans
and long-term real estate loans to eligible farmers and ranchers and their cooperatives; farm-related businesses; and rural
homeowners. FCBs can also lend to local financing institutions, including commercial banks, as authorized by the Farm
Credit Act of 1971, as amended.
All the capital stock of FICBs, from organization in 1923
to December 31, 1956, was held by the U.S. Government.
The Farm Credit Act of 1956 provided a long-range plan
for the eventual ownership of the FICBs by the production
credit associations and the gradual retirement of the Government’s investment in the banks. This retirement was accomplished in full on December 31, 1968. The last of the Government capital that had been invested in FLBs was repaid
in 1947.

FEDERAL AGRICULTURAL MORTGAGE CORPORATION
(FARMER MAC)

Farmer Mac is authorized under the Farm Credit Act of
1971 (Act), as amended by the Agricultural Credit Act of
1987, to create a secondary market for agricultural real estate
and rural home mortgages. The Farmer Mac title of the Act
was amended by the 1990 farm bill to authorize Farmer Mac
to purchase, pool, and securitize the guaranteed portions of
farmer program, rural business, and community development
loans guaranteed by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). The Farmer Mac title was further amended
in 1991 to clarify Farmer Mac’s authority to issue debt obligaSfmt 3604

tions, provide for the establishment of minimum capital
standards, establish the Office of Secondary Market Oversight
at the Farm Credit Administration (FCA), and expand the
agency’s rulemaking authority. Most recently, the Farm Credit System Reform Act of 1996 (1996 Act) amended the Farmer
Mac title to allow Farmer Mac to purchase loans directly
from lenders and to issue and guarantee mortgage-backed
securities without requiring that a minimum cash reserve
or subordinated (first loss) interest be maintained by poolers
as had been required under its original authority. The 1996
Act expanded FCA’s regulatory authority to include provisions
for establishing a conservatorship or receivership, if necessary, and provided for increased core capital requirements
at Farmer Mac phased in over three years.
Farmer Mac operates through two core programs, ‘‘Farmer
Mac I,’’ which involves mortgage loans secured by first liens
on agricultural real estate or rural housing (qualified loans),
and ‘‘Farmer Mac II,’’ which involves the guaranteed portions
of USDA guaranteed loans. Farmer Mac operates by: i) purchasing, or committing to purchase, newly originated or existing qualified loans or guaranteed portions from lenders; ii)
purchasing or guaranteeing ‘‘AgVantage’’ bonds backed by
qualified loans or guaranteed portions from lenders; and iii)
exchanging qualified loans or guaranteed portions for guaranteed securities. Loans purchased by Farmer Mac are aggregated into pools that back Farmer Mac guaranteed securities
which are held by Farmer Mac or sold into the capital markets. Farmer Mac is intended to attract new capital for financing qualified loans and guaranteed portions, foster increased long-term, fixed-rate lending, and provide greater liquidity to agricultural and rural lenders.
Farmer Mac is governed by a 15 member Board of Directors. Ten Board members are elected by stockholders, including five by the Farm Credit System and five by commercial
lenders. Five are appointed by the President, subject to Senate confirmation.
FINANCING

Financial support and funding for Farmer Mac’s operations
come from several sources: sale of common and preferred
stock; issuance of debt obligations; and net income. Under
procedures specified in the Act, Farmer Mac may issue obligations to the U.S. Treasury in a cumulative amount not to
exceed $1.5 billion to fulfill its guarantee obligations.
As of September 30, 2007, Farmer Mac’s core capital exceeded statutory requirements. Additionally, Farmer Mac’s
regulatory capital (core capital plus the allowance for loan
losses) exceeded the amount of required regulatory capital
as determined by the risk-based capital rule, with which
Farmer Mac was required to be in compliance on May 23,
2002.
