SIFMA provides comments to the U.S. Treasury Department’s consultation regarding the development of a functioning private-label securities (PLS) market. SIFMA is a strong supporter of the restoration of private-sector securitization, as the recovery of this market is a necessary component of the broader reinvigoration of the housing system in the United States. SIFMA members agree that the time is now to review the state of our housing finance system, reform the GSEs, and set a positive direction for the future that helps to maintain credit availability and support the economy’s needs.
