Freddie Mac plans to sell at least $3 billion of its three-year reference notes this week.
The debt, which matures March 23, 2012, will be sold "later this week," the McLean, Va., government-sponsored enterprise said Tuesday.
JPMorgan Chase & Co., Morgan Stanley, and UBS AG were hired to manage the offering, Freddie said.
The sale will be at least $3 billion.
