    Notes: OPIC in 2011 dedicated $100 million in financing for typically neglected segments of the Guatemalan population (low-middle income families). Much of these new loans will be packaged into mortgage-backed securities according to the OPIC report. The FHA, a state sponsored entity, also securitizes mortgages that it buys from mortgage lenders.
