Fannie Mae reported that the rate of serious delinquencies - at least 90 days behind - for conventional loans in its single-family guarantee business increased to 5.59% in February, up from 5.52% in January - and up from 2.96% in February 2009.

"Includes seriously delinquent conventional single-family loans as a percent of the total number of conventional single-family loans."

It does appear the increases in the delinquency rate have slowed.
