Press Release: Fitch Expects to Rate Fannie Mae's -2-
16 hours 48 minutes ago - DJNF
Receivership Risk Considered: Under the Federal Housing Finance Regulatory Reform Act, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) must place Fannie Mae into receivership if it determines that Fannie Mae's assets are less than its obligations for more than 60 days following the deadline of its SEC filing, as well as for other reasons. As receiver, FHFA could repudiate any contract entered into by Fannie Mae if it is determined that the termination of such contract would promote an orderly administration of Fannie Mae's affairs. Fitch believes that the U.S. government will continue to support Fannie Mae, which is reflected in its current rating of Fannie Mae. However, if, at some point, Fitch views the support as being reduced and receivership likely, the ratings of Fannie Mae could be downgraded and the M-1 notes' ratings affected.
RATING SENSITIVITIES
Fitch's analysis incorporates sensitivity analyses to demonstrate how the ratings would react to steeper market value declines (MVDs) than assumed at both the metropolitan statistical area (MSA) and national levels. The implied rating sensitivities are only an indication of some of the potential outcomes and do not consider other risk factors that the transaction may become exposed to or be considered in the surveillance of the transaction.
This defined stress sensitivity analysis demonstrates how the ratings would react to steeper MVDs at the national level. The analysis assumes MDVs of 10%, 20%, and 30%, in addition to the model-projected 22% at the 'BBB-sf' level% for Group 1 and 20.9% at the 'BBB-sf' level for Group 2. The analysis indicates that there is some potential rating migration with higher MVDs, compared with the model projection.
Fitch also conducted defined rating sensitivities which determine the stresses to MVDs that would reduce a rating by one full category, to non-investment grade, and to 'CCCsf'. For example, additional MVDs of 11%, 7% and 28% would potentially reduce the Group 1 'BBB-sf' rated class down one rating category, to non-investment grade, and to 'CCCsf', respectively. An additional MVDs of 12%, 8% and 33% would potentially reduce the Group 2 'BBB-sf' rated class down one rating category, to non-investment grade, and to 'CCCsf', respectively.
