Our market, the market for housing finance, is one of the largest and most stable in our economy. Clearly, there will be no shortage of opportunities for Freddie Mac to achieve our mission, to continue growing, and to produce the strong results that shareholders have come to expect. In pursuing these opportunities, it will continue to be our unwavering commitment to four core principles and an enduring innovative spirit that drive our success. The first principle addresses revenue growth. We are a growing company serving a growing market.
Growth is inseparable from our mission.
By lowering the cost of homeownership, Freddie Mac strengthens our revenue stream grows the mortgage market we serve and builds broad public support for our role. As the first principle indicates, we will continue to develop and capitalize on every opportunity to do this. Let me preview three examples, each of which you'll hear more about this morning. First, we will increasingly access worldwide capital markets to lower our financing costs and broaden our investor base. These markets offer a wealth of opportunities.
