"In the financial system we have today, with less risk concentrated in banks, the probability of systemic financial crises may be lower than in traditional bank-centered financial systems."

Finance

"I think we're not going to preserve Fannie and Freddie in anything like their current form. We're going to have to bring fundamental change to that market."

Change

Quality
