Insider: The US is preparing to list Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac later this year.

According to reports, insiders said that the US government is preparing to list Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac later this year, with an expected fundraising of about $30 billion, which is expected to be launched later this year. Freddie Mac's stock price rose by 2.48%. Some insiders said that in the discussions by some government officials, the total valuation of these two companies may reach about $500 billion or higher, with this offering involving the sale of 5% to 15% of their stock. However, whether these two mortgage giants will be listed as one company or as two separate entities for the first public offering is still under discussion. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are mainly engaged in packaging and selling mortgage loans, and have been under government supervision since the 2008 financial crisis, relying on government-supported guarantees to protect investors from losses.
