Geithner's Big Day

On Tuesday, Treasury Secretary Geithner will deliver opening remarks and moderate a panel discussion at the Obama Administration’s Conference on the Future of Housing Finance at Treasury. He will be joined by HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan and senior White House, HUD, and Treasury officials, as well as a wide cross-section of stakeholders, including citizen and consumer advocacy groups, economists, investors, lenders, market researchers, mortgage servicers, and many others. 

According to the Treasury, the conference will provide an additional opportunity for the Administration to hear a diverse set of perspectives on the key issues surrounding housing finance reform and to make certain that all of the best ideas are on the table as it continues to develop a comprehensive housing finance reform proposal for delivery to Congress by January 2011.  The official remarks and panel discussions will be webcast from www.treas.gov.
