Russia’s Mortgage Market Hits New Highs in 2023
By year end 2023 Russia saw its mortgage loan portfolio rise to 18.2 trillion rubles, marking a record growth of 34.5 percent. This figure comes from the Central Bank of the Russian Federation in its monthly report on the development of the banking sector. The surge in home loans was driven in part by government programs that subsidize interest rates, which accounted for about 60 percent of all loans issued. Authorities note that citizens are actively investing in real estate as the ruble weakens and inflation remains elevated.
Overall lending in 2023 reached 7.8 trillion rubles, a new peak for mortgage issuance. For context, the 2022 total stood at 4.8 trillion rubles, and the previous record before that was 5.7 trillion rubles in 2021. The latest data from the end of December highlight a December 2022 figure of 785 billion rubles in housing loans, up 8 percent from November. The federal budget discussion also shows continued support for concessional mortgages as part of the ongoing policy framework.
Earlier, the head of the Central Bank had suggested a pause in housing price growth within the Russian market. That forecast highlighted the balance between demand, lending incentives, and price movements as the market evolved through late 2022 and into 2023. In summary, the year underscored how policy tools and investor confidence interacted to shape mortgage activity across the country.
