The data reported for household mortgage lending have been derived from HITREG, the MNB’s Credit Register database. The publication presents the value of the so-called Loan-to-Value ratio (LTV: the ratio of the collateral value to the total amount of loan taken against it), which is used to measure the encumbrance of collateral for household mortgage loans, with regional and time-series charts.

Based on 2023 Q3 data, the LTV for household mortgage loans rose slightly compared to previous quarters, but excessive household indebtedness and financial stability risks have not been identified, due to continued moderate credit growth.
