Booting Up for 2.0
FHFA and Ginnie Mae today let loose their long, long delayed standards for eligible seller-servicers.

Pain is also postponed, facilitating compliance at a time when it might be particularly challenging for firms to tap markets to meet new capital, liquidity, and stress-test standards.
