Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick indicated that the U.S. government may pursue an IPO for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac sooner than expected, potentially making it the largest IPO in history. The aim is to demonstrate the value of these assets to American taxpayers while keeping mortgage prices low. Lutnick hinted at a possible deal and timeline, suggesting it could happen this year. This follows discussions about returning the companies to the private sector after years of government conservatorship, with President Trump also considering a merger under the 'MAGA' ticker.
