Historically low growth rate in the mortgage market
The consequences of increased mortgage interest rates and falling housing prices are felt on the mortgage market, shows a new survey from Statistics Norway.
In January 2023, the annual growth rate of housing loans was 3.7 percent. Which is the lowest rate of increase measured in Statistics Norway’s statistics, which go back to 2006.
– The growth rate has clearly decreased for both loans to single-family houses and loans to condominiums. For a long time, the growth rate of loans for the purchase of condominiums has been significantly higher than for single-family house loans. But in January this year, the growth rate was the same. It has never happened before, says Johannes Holmberg, national economist at Statistics Sweden, in a press release.

TORE SUNDMAN
Hi Thor! It could be, but as we currently cannot confirm that it is a knife in particular, we cannot write it – it could be some other sharp object.
Aftonbladet’s front page is almost exclusively about crime. Maybe time to change the name to Kriminalbladet?
Johanna
Hello Johanna! It is true that we write a lot about crime, in part it is a reflection of a serious wave of violence that has hit Stockholm in recent times. But there is plenty of other entertainment, sports, politics and lighter talk for those not interested in crime. We also welcome tips at [email protected]!
