NEW YORK (Reuters) - Fannie Mae, the largest U.S. mortgage guarantor, said on Friday its net income fell to $2.8 billion in the first quarter from $4.9 billion the prior quarter as smaller increases in market interest rates resulted in smaller gains on its derivatives and credit-related income.
The Washington-based agency, which has been under government control since 2008, will pay the U.S. Treasury Department $2.8 billion in dividends in June.
