Recent news from the Bulgarian banking sector confirms what many property investors have known for a while – investment potential in Bulgarian property is one of the best in the world. Not only does capital growth top global rankings, but the Bulgarian mortgage sector is booming. There is no doubt that the Bulgarian banking industry is growing at a rapid pace on the back of rising housing and property mortgage loans and a strong real estate sector. RNCOS, a leading market research company has released a new research report on the Bulgarian banking sector, which says that increase in mortgage loans is one the fastest growing markets for the Bulgarian banking industry. Indeed, the industry is expected to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) rate of around 88% over the next three to four years.
According to the report, the Bulgarian housing mortgage loans experienced high growth in recent years at a CAGR of nearly 87% from 2004 to 2006 due to liberalisation of the mortgage market, coupled with lower interest rates that made mortgage loans hugely popular in the country. Bulgarian National Bank figures report that Bulgarians took out over €2.5 billion in mortgages over the last year and home loans now account for almost half the loan total (a rise of nearly 25% over the last 3 years).
