Initiative Tackles Rising Repurchases
The Federal National Mortgage Association has undertaken a new initiative that it hopes will reduce repurchases by lenders. The initiative includes "substantially" rewritten quality-control policies.

HARP Extended

Agency Issuance Weaker
A monthly increase in securitizations at Fannie Mae wasn't enough to overcome a decline at its two government-controlled cousins. All three issuers, however, were down from a year ago.

The secondary lender is seeing the biggest problems on mortgages originated in 2006 and 2007 -- with the level of late payments on those two vintages riding around twice as high as other vintages.

Lower Losses at Freddie
While quarterly losses at the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. remained in the billions of dollars, annual losses dropped by half.

Fannie Approves 4 New Mortgage Insurers
The Federal National Mortgage Association has approved four new mortgage insurance companies -- including one that emerged from the closing of another mortgage insurer.
