Washington, D.C. – Ginnie Mae announced today that it guaranteed $25.7 billion in mortgage-backed securities (MBS) in November 2013.

“Ginnie Mae’s stabilizing presence in the industry is evident through its steady performance of MBS issuance,” said Ginnie Mae President Ted Tozer. “The explicit government guarantee of Ginnie Mae MBS provides the global market access to an MBS program rooted in transparency, standardization and accountability.”

In addition, Ginnie Mae issued $1.16 billion in multifamily MBS in November.
