Preferred term

government-sponsored enterprises  

Definition

  • For many years, the federal government used government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) to encourage the flow of credit to residential housing, financial institutions, agriculture, and until recently, higher education. The GSE is designed to be a privately owned financial firm with specialized lending powers and the implicit backing of the federal government.
