Russia has a number of mortgage programs co-financed by the state. After the Central Bank raised the key rate to 20%, many banks stopped approving and issuing preferential loans. Experts expected revision of the current conditions for rural, family and other types of mortgages with reduced rates. On Wednesday, March 23, their fate became clear.
President of Russia Vladimir Putin at a meeting with the Cabinet of Ministers approved the revision of conditions for concessional lending for new buildings. Previously, loans of no more than 3 million rubles were issued at 7% per annum. The government proposed to increase the rate to 12%, but at the same time to increase the limits for issued amounts to 12 million in Moscow, St. Petersburg, the Moscow region and the Leningrad region and to 6 million rubles in other Russian regions. The head of state agreed with the new conditions, noting that even such a rate would be two times lower than the market rate, TASS reports.
The authorities decided maintain the current conditions for family, rural and Far Eastern mortgage programs. Rates on them are fixed at 6%, 3% and 2% respectively. Putin noted that each of the programs has time limits, and citizens should remember this in order to plan the budget and improve living conditions in a timely manner.
The head of state also stated that the benchmark in the implementation of the programs is an increase in the number of mortgage transactions. In 2022, this figure should exceed the one achieved a year earlier. If the dynamics is not positive, the terms of preferential mortgages may be reviewed again.
