GSE stands for Government-sponsored enterprise, a real estate & mortgage abbreviation.
Privately owned financial company chartered by Congress to support lending in a sector of the economy, especially housing, such as Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the Federal Home Loan Banks.
Example: Investors debated whether GSE debt carried an implicit government guarantee.
Usage notes
The 2008 rescue of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac confirmed in practice the implicit backing markets had long assumed. Farm credit and agricultural lending GSEs also exist.
