| Annual Agency MBS Issuance Drops
Month-over-month rise at Fannie more than offset by declines at Freddie, Ginnie
Jan. 2, 2018
By Mortgage Daily staff

Despite an increase in securitizations at Fannie Mae, overall issuance of agency mortgage-backed securities fell in the final month of 2017. Annual activity also eased.
Between Fannie,
Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae, there were $107.220 billion in fixed-rate MBS issued during December. That was a 6 percent decline from the preceding month.
The drop was far month substantial compared to the final month of 2016, when $156.750 billion in MBS were issued on behalf of the trio of housing finance agencies.
The data were reported to Mortgage Daily by eMBS, a provider of data and analytics to MBS market participants.
For all of 2017, agency issuance amounted to $1.2756 trillion, falling from $1.4508 trillion in 2016.
Last month's biggest decline was at the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp., where activity fell 19 percent from November to $29.563 billion.
The McLean, Virginia-based firm's issuance dropped 26 percent versus the same month in 2016.
Freddie's fixed-rate MBS issuance during the 12 months ended
Dec. 31, 2017, was $335.825 billion, retreating from $382.601 billion the prior year.
A 5 percent decline left issuance on behalf of the Government National Mortgage Association at $34.250 billion. Ginnie's issuance was down by a quarter from December 2016.
Full-year 2017 issuance at government-owned Ginnie decreased to $438.134 billion from $493.624 billion one year earlier.
Only the Federal national Mortgage Association experienced a month-over-month increase: 5 percent to $43.407 billion. But the secondary lender had the largest year-over-year decline: 39 percent.
Washington-based Fannie's issuance totaled $501.672 billion for all 12 months of last year, diminishing from $574.611 billion in 2016.
