FHFA Publishes Final Rule for New Enterprise Products and Activities Late last month, the Federal Housing Finance Agency published its final rule for new Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac products and activities, which will require them to provide advance notice to FHFA of new activities and obtain prior approval before launching new products. The final rule, which is largely similar to the proposed rule, should enable the GSEs to serve their mission while maintaining safety and soundness, including through stakeholder input. Notable key changes include enhanced reviews of pilots, clarifications of what constitutes a substantially similar activity, and public disclosure requirements for FHFA. This final rule will replace the interim final rule that has been in place since July 2, 2009.
