The plans would ratchet up federal oversight, and seek to direct banks toward the Federal Reserve\u2019s discount window in times of extreme stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[\u2026]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some changes would require congressional action. Officials will ask lawmakers to help curtail pay for some FHLB executives and to at least double the amount of profit that the FHLB system must spend on affordable housing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The report criticized the FHLBs\u2019 practice of setting salaries by comparing them with similar positions at similarly sized commercial banks. Unlike those lenders, \u201cthe FHLBanks have lower risk profiles than commercial banks\u201d and aren\u2019t comparable in many regards, the authors wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The FHLBs were set up in the Great Depression to boost mortgage lending, but have since morphed into a backstop for banks and credit unions. At the same time, their importance in housing finance has declined as nonbank mortgage firms grew to dominate home lending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Senator Catherine Cortez Masto<\/strong>, a Nevada Democrat who had asked for the review of the system, said in a statement that she was <strong>\u201cglad the administration is prioritizing my recommendations to reform the Federal Home Loan Bank system to ensure they\u2019re helping us lower housing costs for Nevadans and for <\/strong><strong>families across the country.\u201d<\/strong> Her office is working on a bill that would implement some of FHFA\u2019s plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[\u2026]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">###<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Case You Missed It, Senator Cortez Masto\u2019s work to reform the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLBanks) system picked up steam this week, with the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) releasing a new report calling on Congress to pass the Senator\u2019s legislation and \u201cratchet up federal oversight,\u201d according to Bloomberg.
