FHFA final rule on GSE resolution planning

The Federal Housing Finance Agency has issued a final rule, published at 86 FR 23577 in the May 4 Federal Register, that requires Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (the Enterprises) to develop credible resolution plans, also known as “living wills." These resolution plans would facilitate a rapid and orderly resolution of the Enterprises should FHFA in the future be appointed their receiver per the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (HERA).

Under the final rule, the Enterprises must demonstrate how core or important business lines would be maintained to ensure continued support for mortgage finance and stabilize the housing finance system, without extraordinary government support, to prevent an Enterprise from being placed in receivership, indemnify investors against losses, or fund the resolution of an Enterprise.

The FHFA also released a Fact Sheet on the rule. The rule will be effective July 6, 2021.
