According to the Bank of Estonia, the balance of loans granted for investment properties and development in Q3 2013 was €1.7 billion. This is 4.6% less than in the previous year.
The loan balance of retail property financing has decreased by 21% and the loan balance of residential development by 17%.
The decrease in the residential development loan balance is the result of the low new loan turnover. In Q3 2013 banks issued loans in the amount of €7.5 million for residential development, which is one of the lowest figures in recent years.
