Warning of the European Systemic Risk Board on medium-term vulnerabilities in the residential real estate sector of Austria

The Board highlights robust growth in house prices and mortgage credit, alongside a risk of further loosening in lending standards, as the primary macroprudential concerns. These developments may lead to serious negative consequences for the real economy and financial stability.
