Tightening regulation of mortgage issuance
From August 1, the Bank of Russia will tighten the regulation of mortgage issuance by introducing increased premiums to the risk ratios for new mortgage loans with a down payment of 15-20% of the cost of housing.
The new values of the premiums to bank risk ratios will be 50 - 100 percentage points.
The decision to increase premiums to risk ratios on mortgages was caused by the fact that in the market of new buildings, banks increased the share of loans with a down payment of less than 20% from 24% in the 2nd quarter of 2020 to 45% in the 1st quarter of 2021, which is partly due to the loyal state programs.
In the secondary market, this figure increased by 3%.
The innovation is intended to make credit institutions less willing to issue mortgages with a low down payment, and will also allow "to ensure the banks' resilience to potential stress scenarios."
