Murin The Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae) has announced that total issuance for its Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS) program reached $27.9 billion in February 2009. Ginnie Mae guaranteed $27.5 single-family MBS and $379 million multifamily MBS. For Fiscal Year 2009, Ginnie Mae MBS issuance stands at $135.9 billion, compared to $55.2 for the first five months of FY 2008.

Murin, president of Ginnie Mae.. "We are in unprecedented economic territory now and the industry needs a safer haven for investments, it is evident that Ginnie Mae is that safer haven and will continue to provide liquidity as the Administration works through this crisis." For the last 40 years, the industry has turned to the safety and security of Ginnie Mae MBS because it has the full faith and credit backing of the United States Government. As a result, Ginnie Mae's commitment to its mission has remained constant. This has allowed Ginnie Mae to provide homeownership opportunities for more than 30 million households by securitizing loans insured or guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), the Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Rural Development and the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Office of Public and Indian Housing (PIH).
