Slump in Romanian mortgages



Country:  Romania

16 April 2009

The volume of mortgage applications to buy property in Romania fell by over 50% in Q1 2009, compared to the corresponding period in 2008, according to a Business Standard report.

Romania’s mortgage sector recorded rapid growth in 2008 with the number of mortgage applications soaring 60% year-on-year.

The fall in demand for mortgages has been put down to the fact that residential prices and mortgage lending costs have both risen, while there is far more caution due to the credit crunch and the 20% depreciation in the value of the Romanian leu against the euro currency.

Some banks, such as Volksbank, have stopped granting any home loans, while others have imposed far more stringent conditions.
