This week, SFA CEO Michael Bright joined Rob Blackwell of the IntraFi Network on his podcast Banking with Interest to discuss SFA’s mission, why the current housing system isn’t broken, and current policy efforts around GSE reform, Basel III, private credit, and fraud prevention.
The conversation covered how SFA’s diverse membership of stakeholders allows the securitization industry to speak with one voice on policy, as well as the current landscape of the housing market and how Fannie and Freddie are viewed by lawmakers and the public, and Rob and Michael are able to unpack the story of how a single word in new proposed Basel III regulations prompted hours of debate and discussion among SFA’s policy experts.
