""Without Ginnie Mae providing liquidity via the secondary market for government-insured mortgage loans, the turmoil in the housing market would have been much worse.

""And, given Ginnie Mae's consistently high issuance levels, it is clear that issuers and investors are still depending upon Ginnie Mae,"" he added.
