what happened
According to TradingView, citing RTT News and dpa-AFX, the euro-area demand index for housing loans came in at -27 in the third quarter, down from -15 in the second.
The standards index for mortgages stood at 0 this quarter, versus +9 in Q2. Banks have stopped tightening their terms but are not easing them either.
why it matters
For markets this signals a weakening credit impulse: lower mortgage demand may restrain loan growth at banks and cool the housing market, while a zero reading for standards points to a pause in tightening.
