[…]The US Treasury is studying plans to inject as much as $15bn (£2.75bn) of fresh capital into beleaguered mortgage firms Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
The cash injection is one of several plans being considered by US Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson as he looks to instill confidence in the country’s ailing mortgage market.
Speculation that the US Treasury was mounting a plan to rescue Freddie and its sister company Fannie Mae has grown after a week in which the groups lost half of their stock market value on fears that they would be unable to keep raising money.[…]
Queste due società hanno capitale insufficiente ora ; ma fanno profitti grazie ai drammatici tagli dei tassi della FED che le consentono di erogare mutui al 6% e pagare il denaro il 2.5%.
Inoltre le banche centrali taiwanesi, cinesi, coreane, giapponesi, arabe e russe hanno circa 1.000 miliardi di debito di Fannie Mae e Freddie Mac in mano.
