Mortgage lending volumes for the whole year

Volume of new mortgages 2025

Mortgage lending volumes for the whole year

CBA Commentary
Hypomonitor's history since 2020 shows their lowest annual volume at CZK 124 billion in 2023 and their highest volume at CZK 379 billion in 2021. The figure of CZK 370 billion of new mortgage loans in 2026 reflects the assumption of a similar dynamics of the number of new mortgages as in the last three months, followed by a 7% negative shock from April 2026 due to stricter criteria for so-called investment mortgages, which should result in less than 80,000 new mortgages. The volume is then tightened by assuming 8% annualized growth in the average mortgage amount over the next three months, followed by its stagnation over the rest of the year.
