“The IREBS study is an important indicator of current financial stability surrounding real estate finance. The finance market for commercial real estate is extremely robust, which is reflected in the modest growth in lending. The banks have only extended the LTV ratio slightly and are dealing with risks in a responsible manner. The real estate sector currently does not pose any threat to the finance market.”

Jan Bettink, Vice-President of the Zentraler Immobilien Ausschuss (ZIA), Chairman of the Board of Management of Berlin Hyp AG and President of the vdp.
