AbstractHong Kong's proposed mortgage corporation would free local banks from excessive exposure to the property market by buying up mortgages and repackaging them as government-backed bonds. Would it thus expose the government, and ultimately the taxpayer, to the property market? A look at the Federal National Mortgage Association, known as Fannie Mae, shows that is highly unlikely.
