Useful Lessons from the U.S. Housing Finance System

From: HUD USER News
 
A new release by HUD's Office of Policy Development and
Research charts the evolution of our nation's housing
finance system. This historical account illuminates the
process of linking borrowers with investors/savers and
five different financial intermediation models gleaned
from the U.S. experience. The authors examine practices
that can be of use to nations with emerging mortgage
markets; especially those facing challenges in wholesale
funding, risk sharing and management, and affordable
lending products. The mortgage market experiences of
Mexico, Korea, South Africa, and Poland illuminate
lessons learned by the U.S. in the evolution of our
housing finance system.
 
The report, Evolution of the U.S. Housing Finance System:
a Historical Survey and Lessons for Emerging Mortgage
Markets, is available online and can be downloaded
