Far East mortgage issuance up 20% in 2024th year
The volume of loans under the Far Eastern mortgage in 2024 amounted to 232.6 billion rubles - the figure increased by 21% compared to the previous year and reached a record level, according to data from Dom.RF (available from Izvestia). This happened against the background of a drop in the issuance of all other mortgage state programs - on family mortgage they decreased by 2023, albeit slightly (by 3.7%), and on IT-mortgage - by 14%. Whereas the mass discount mortgage was canceled from July 2024.
