Key importance of interest rates level

Of course, the most important factor affecting the analyzed statistics is the current level of NBP interest rates. According to Jacek Furga – chairman of the ZBP Housing Financing Committee, without changing the regulations imposing an additional burden on the banking sector, he will not be able to repeat the result of the current year in 2020. The scale of the recovery may be evidenced by the fact that the results of lending in the third quarter of 2019 were the highest in 43 quarters. The first nine months of 2019 generated 87% of the value of housing loans granted throughout 2018.

Rising housing prices affect higher loans
