The move was significant because Fannie and Freddie significantly ratcheted up their purchase of sub-prime loans to $175 billion, which was 44 per cent of the market in 2004; to $169 billion, which was 33 per cent of the market in 2005; and to $90 billion, which was 20 per cent of the market in 2006.
Ce changement fut important car Fannie et Freddie augmentèrent dès lors considérablement leurs achats d'hypothèques à haut risque en les portant à 175 milliards de dollars en 2004, soit 44 p. 100 du marché de cette année-là, 169 milliards en 2005, soit 33 p. 100 du marché, et 90 milliards en 2006, soit 20 p. 100 du marché.
