WASHINGTON, D.C. – Ginnie Mae announced today that it passed through to investors a record $1 trillion in principal and interest payments in Fiscal Year 2021. The timely payment of scheduled principal and interest to investors who own Ginnie Mae MBS is a testament to the scalability and reliability of the mortgage-backed securities platform, no matter the market conditions.

“The past fiscal year broke MBS issuance and investor payment records,” said Office of Securities Operations Senior Vice President John Daugherty. “Through continuous attention to maintaining and upgrading the operations infrastructure of the MBS program, Ginnie Mae and its business partners were able to keep money flowing between investors and homeowners and renters and help stabilize the economy during a national emergency.”
