Treasury seeks dealer views on liquidity, GSE plans
WASHINGTON, July 18 (Reuters) - The U.S. Treasury said on Friday it is asking primary bond dealers for their views on the Federal Reserve's liquidity measures and a backstop plan for housing finance giants Fannie Mae (FNM.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) and Freddie Mac (FRE.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz).
"Treasury would like your views on the impact of these actions on credit market conditions, and in particular, your perception of market liquidity and the potential implications for Treasury debt issuance," the department said in the regular quarterly debt refunding survey that it sends to the 18 primary government bond dealers.
