WASHINGTON, D.C.— Ginnie Mae Acting President Sam Valverde, alongside senior leadership, recently led a series of high-level engagements in Singapore and Tokyo, strengthening Ginnie Mae’s relationships with global investors and reinforcing its commitment to expanding sustainable access to homeownership.

These engagements allow Ginnie Mae to share key insights on U.S. housing finance, update stakeholders on its mortgage-backed securities (MBS) program, and gather valuable feedback from international investors.

Asia remains a crucial region for Ginnie Mae, not only due to its significant MBS investment holdings but also its longstanding partnerships in housing finance.
