The movie “Great Short” – Play with no ethics in the banking industries and financial financial industries – specifically at Federal Government
These two businesses have been created by the government and supported by government The lender is encouraged to issue hazardous home loans by effective make taxpayers co-sign to mortgages. This setup of unspecified lending habits that inspire housing bubble, ultimately lead to economic results.
Another critical but not forgotten causing collapse is the act of changing the community. This federal law is intended to prevent practical lending discriminator but Rather produces a number of market distortions By coercion of banks to extend loans to borrowers who may have the risk of being considered dangerous. Under the threat of regulatory penalties, banks caused unfolding patterns of lending – again, inflate the bubble at home.
After the bubble is inevitable explosion, Fannie and Freddie placed under the conservatorship through the Federal Housing Finance Agency. The rules imposed by the Conservor intended to prevent future taxpayers and economic protection from government market distortions.
Today, President Trump taught to lead that agency, Bill Pulte, thinking about the conclusion of this conservatorship Without responding to core structure structure fluctuating the problem in the first place: the government assures all the debts of Fannie and Freddie. If the Pulte will continue not to carry out the real reform, the Main Street taxpayers are more likely to be exposed to important financial hazards for the Subsid of Dingding Deals for Wall Street.
Without real reform, incentives and practices carrying the crisis remain unchanged, lying on stage for a repeated disaster.
The wrist proposal is unlikely to freeze the policies in the free market. However, the market may further rig in favor of the funds to agree with Fannie and Freddie funds, while leaving taxpayers at risks.
A meaningful solution requires Fannie and Freddie who are more able to strengthen their capital reserves. The two government-backed sponsors remain at risk below the bottom. art Report from JP Morgan Chase It is described so: Implementing strong capital requirements similar to those in charge of private banks obliged two businesses to internalize their risks and accountability.
Additional reforms must solve transparency and handle. The enhanced standards of revelation will allow investors, regulators and publicly better assess the risks. Furthermore, it limits the kinds of loanes in these entities that may use exposure to risky loans, further protection of taxpayers. Executing clear rules that prevents Fannie and Freddie from claiming financial products financial products can also lighten potential distortions in the market.
Critical, the federal government should clearly communicate that future bailouts are not an option. Clearly removes government guarantees to force Fannie and Freddie to operate responsibly, knowing that the poor behavior will precede their disgust, not another taxpayer. Clearly legal separation from government support is important to prevent behavior risk.
The combination of government guarantees, regulatory pressure from policies such as community revision and insufficient capital standards for the perfect storm for the 2008 financial crisis. Exclusion of these lessons and repetition of past mistakes is certainly unlikely to lead to similar disaster.
Supporters with a long-lasting release of Fannie and Freddie argue that market situations have changed and the risk management has improved. However, repeatedly shown in history with no structural changes, financial entities – especially government owners – inevitable market pressures and market incentives. Market works well when participants bring the whole outcomes of their decisions, something impossible under the current government-backed structure.
In the end, the only responsible way is to remove taxpayers from the equation completely. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac should join the morgage market only as fully private entities, with no government guarantee.
American public does not require a successive “the big short.” The painful lessons in 2008 crisis recently and very badly ignored or forgotten. Market discipline, fiscal responsibility and real reform – not the government-backed risk – need to guide our way to proceed. We only hope that the Trump administration chooses fiscal responsibility for dangerous experiments that have been shown in danger history.
