flag The Fed proposes easing rules to boost banks' mortgage lending, aiming to reverse post-2008 decline.

flag The Federal Reserve is proposing regulatory changes to encourage banks to re-enter the mortgage market by adjusting capital requirements for mortgage servicing rights and loan-to-value ratios, aiming to reverse a decline in bank involvement since 2008. flag The reforms, led by Vice Chair Michelle Bowman, could reduce compliance burdens and make mortgage lending more attractive for banks, potentially increasing competition and consumer options. flag Final approval is pending, and broader regulatory relief may be needed to fully restore bank participation.
