This issue of Rue de la Banque assesses the impact on real estate prices, construction and housing loans of macroprudential measures leading to a rise in housing loan rates, a decline in the debt service to income ratio (instalments over income) or a limitation of the original maturity of loans. These three types of measures have a significant impact on housing loan developments and, to a lesser extent, house prices due to the effect of loan variations on the housing stock.
