Livlig efterfrågan på bostadslån i oktober30.11.2020 13:00:00 EET | Tiedote
I oktober 2020 utbetalades nya bostadslån för 2 miljarder euro, vilket är 5,5 % mer än vid motsvarande tid för ett år sedan. Senast har utbetalningarna av bostadslån under en månad varit lika stora i maj 2011. Trots svackan på våren har efterfrågan på bostadslån under innevarande år varit stor. I januari–oktober 2020 utbetalades 2 % mer nya bostadslån än under motsvarande period ett år tidigare. Den avtalade årsräntan för nya bostadslån sjönk något från september och var 0,71 % i oktober 2020. Årsökningen i det utestående beloppet av bostadslån har tagit fart och var över 3 % i oktober 2020. Förutom utbetalningarna i början av året och under de senaste månaderna har utnyttjandet av möjligheten till amorteringsfrihet på våren höjt tillväxttakten. Det utestående beloppet av bostadslån i euro uppgick till 103,0 miljarder euro i oktober 2020. De längre återbetalningstiderna har varit en bidragande orsak till att beloppet av utestående bostadslån ökat. Den genomsnittliga återbetalningstiden
Asuntolainoja nostettiin runsaasti lokakuussa30.11.2020 13:00:00 EET | Tiedote
Lokakuussa 2020 uusia asuntolainoja nostettiin kahden miljardin edestä, mikä on 5,5 % enemmän kuin vuosi sitten vastaavana aikana. Yhden kuukauden aikana on nostettu näin paljon asuntolainoja viimeksi toukokuussa 2011. Asuntolainojen nostaminen on ollut kevään notkahduksesta huolimatta runsasta kuluvan vuoden aikana. Tammi-lokakuun 2020 aikana uusia asuntolainoja on nostettu 2 % enemmän kuin vuosi sitten vastaavana aikana. Uusien asuntolainojen sovittu vuosikorko laski hieman syyskuusta ja oli 0,71 % lokakuussa 2020. Asuntolainakannan vuosikasvu on kiihtynyt ja oli yli 3 % lokakuussa 2020. Alkuvuoden 2020 ja viime kuukausien runsaiden lainanostojen lisäksi kasvua on vauhdittanut lyhennysvapaiden käyttö keväällä. Euromääräisten asuntolainojen kanta oli 103,0 mrd. euroa lokakuussa 2020. Asuntolainakannan kasvua ovat vahvistaneet osaltaan pidemmät takaisinmaksuajat. Uusien asuntolainojen keskimääräinen takaisinmaksuaika piteni hieman ja oli 21 vuotta 5 kuukautta lokakuussa 2020. Tyypillis
Housing loan drawdowns brisk in October30.11.2020 13:00:00 EET | Press release
Drawdowns of new housing loans in October 2020 totalled EUR 2 bn, an increase of 5.5% on October a year earlier. On a monthly level, housing loan drawdowns have last been this high in May 2011. Despite the decline in the spring, the current year has been brisk for drawdowns of housing loans. In January–October 2020, new drawdowns were 2% higher than in the same period a year earlier. The annualised agreed rate on new housing loans fell slightly from September, to 0.71% in October 2020. Annual growth in the housing loan stock has picked up, to over 3% in October 2020. In addition to the ample borrowing in early 2020 and recent months, growth has been driven by the popularity of interest-only periods in the spring. The stock of euro-denominated housing loans in October totalled EUR 103.0 bn. Growth in the housing loan stock has partly been underpinned by longer repayment periods. In October 2020, the average repayment period of new housing loans lengthened slightly and was 21 years and 5

Account of the monetary policy meeting of the Governing Council of the European Central Bank held in Frankfurt am Main on Wednesday and Thursday, 28-29 October 2020 1. Review of financial, economic and monetary developments and policy options Financial market developments Ms Schnabel reviewed the financial market developments since the Governing Council’s previous monetary policy meeting on 9-10 September 2020. Financial markets had been driven by two opposing forces. On one side, reduced risks of a contested presidential election in the United States and expectations of a large fiscal stimulus programme under a potential Biden presidency had boosted risk sentiment and revived the reflation trade. On the other side, renewed lockdown measures in different countries on the back of a surge in new coronavirus (COVID-19) cases, especially in the euro area, were increasingly reflected in asset price valuations. Unlike in spring, however, so far there had been no widespread flight into safe-h
