Länsförsäkringar Hypotek: Interim Report January–March 2016

Report this content

”During the quarter, Länsförsäkringar Hypotek reported a favourable performance in the mortgage market, where we successively continued to capture market shares and deliver a strong operating profit. Lending is growing at a steady rate with high credit quality, while loan losses remain very low. It is clear that our strong local presence and our high customer satisfaction are continuing to be a winning combination. The trend in housing prices remained one of the most debated issues and it is positive that the price trend at the end of last year and start of this year appears to have entered into a calmer phase. The new regulation on mortgage repayments is expected to finally come into force during the second quarter of the year, which will further strengthen the distinct trend towards an improved mortgage repayment culture. Additional measures are being discussed by the authorities and it is important in this respect that any effects on the function of the housing market are carefully analysed before the measures are introduced. It is also important that the underlying problem of insufficient new housing construction is addressed” says Anders Borgcrantz, President of Länsförsäkringar Hypotek.
