Finansinspektionen issued regulations amending its previous guidelines to redefine the term 'housing loan' for regulatory purposes. The amendment specifies that a housing loan must be associated with a lien on fixed property, site-leasehold rights, tenant-owner rights, or equivalent rights in non-property buildings. These changes are designed to align with definitions in the Covered Bonds, Banking, and Consumer Credit Acts and entered into force on November 1, 2021.
