German Debt Market: Rise in New Business Boosts Sentiment Among Lenders
BERLIN, November 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
More than 50 percent of the poll respondents registered an increase in new business in commercial real estate financing in Germany
Sentiment among lenders active on the German commercial real estate financing market has obviously brightened over the past three months: The FAP Barometer jumped by no less than 1.15 point to a score of 2.04 points.
51.3 percent of the poll participants reported a rise in new business. This is up from 40.0 percent the previous quarter, and implies a hefty increase by 28.3 percent. It is also one of the main reasons for the upbeat sentiment among lenders. Meanwhile, the share of financed loan volumes between 50 and 100 million euros in new business rose from 17.5 percent to 25.6 percent quarter on quarter. Loans over more than 100 million euros account for a share of 2.6 percent (previous quarter: 2.5 percent). The bracket of 10 to 50 million euros in loan volume account for 53.8 percent (previous quarter: 52.5 percent), and that of less than 10 million euros for 17.9 percent (previous quarter: 27.5 percent).
Another reason for the good cheer are the financing parameters, which 45.5 percent of the respondents currently rate as more progressive quarter on quarter - compared to the 28.3-percent result of the previous poll. While 2.2 percent of the lenders still deemed the terms of financing restrictive in Q3, the figure has since dropped to zero. At the same time, the share of those who are not aware of any change in the terms of financing dropped from nearly 70 down to 54.5 percent.
