These groups argue that such action is not only necessary to maintain financial stability but also to protect home prices.
Buying mortgage-backed securities may provide support for the mortgage market by helping to reduce borrowing costs and extend debt maturities. Additionally, purchasing these securities could help keep the value of homes buoyant, which in turn helps the financial system. Mortgage-backed securities may also be used to fund relief efforts for those affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
