Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How has European Private Law responded to the property and mortgage markets crisis? And in what way is this reaction likely to model domestic systems? The financial and economic crisis that marked the beginning of the century has had a devastating effect on the property and mortgage markets in many Member States of the European Union. Despite this, the European legislator took its time to respond. This book analyzes the impact of the Mortgage Credit Directive (Directive 2014/17) in twelve different jurisdictions: Belgium, England, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Malta, The Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, and Spain. The reports show how in some instances only certain products (such as foreign currency loans) or practices (irresponsible lending, homeownership promoting policies, the use of unfair terms) were factors that triggered the property crash; in other cases; the system completely failed to address an exceptional situation; and, finally, how in some instances prudent lending explained why the market was virtually not hit at all. This book aims to find out whether the two goals of Directive 2014/17 (financial sector stability and enhanced consumer protection) can be achieved in light of its provisions and of the transposition carried out by the different Member States, and whether the changes it introduces have a significant impact in the jurisdictions considered here. Some systems are already showing signs of yet another property bubble. There is room for hope: perhaps we have learned from the past, perhaps the Directive is a step forward, but more importantly this book shows that we can learn from each other.

Download or read book Implementation of the Mortgage Credit Directive The Scope of Changes Issues of Concern and Their Potential Impact on the Polish Mortgage Sector written by Agnieszka Nierodka and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In February 2014, the European Parliament approved the text of a new Mortgage Credit Directive, ending more than two years of work on the unification of the mortgage market in Europe. EU Member States have had two years to adapt their national legislations to the new requirements - the deadline for implementation of the Directive expires in March 2016. Although the final version of the Directive, whose aim is to harmonize and raise the standards of offering mortgage loans in the EU, was made significantly more relaxed relative to the original assumptions, this does not mean that implementation of the new regulations will be easy for the financial sector. The purpose of this article is to present the main provisions of the Mortgage Credit Directive, its planned implementation into Polish law and the major challenges related to the process.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mortgage Credit Directive (Directive 2014/17/EU) aims to create an efficient and competitive internal market for consumers, creditors and credit intermediaries. It aims to provide a high level of consumer protection; and promote financial stability by ensuring that mortgage credit markets operate in a responsible manner. Member States were required to transpose the Directive into their national law by 21 March 2016, but only eight transposed the Directive on time. Spain was the last country to fully transpose the Mortgage Credit Directive, in June 2019. This study has been commissioned by the European Commission (DG FISMA) to support an evaluation of the Directive and to address the regulatory requirements under Articles 44 and 45. The aim of the study is to assess the effectiveness, efficiency, relevance, coherence and EU added value of the Mortgage Credit Directive as well as the simplification and burden reduction potential, in line with Better Regulation principles. The research has combined a review of the literature with extensive stakeholder consultation, including interviews, a mystery shopping and a consumer survey. The evaluation finds that the Mortgage Credit Directive has effectively raised the bar in terms of consumer protection in many EU Member States and has helped to level the playing field for different market players. On the whole, it has remained relevant in light of digital and other market trends, although there are some areas where clarification is needed. The costs of implementation have also been found to be limited for industry. The market for mortgages however remains of national nature, with limited cross-border activity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Annex sets out the results of our legal analysis. It considers: - How the Member States have implemented the MCD, i.e. the options taken by the Member States. - Whether the Member States have gone beyond the minimum requirements of the MCD (so-called 'gold-plating'). - The main changes compared to the pre-existing situation (regulatory baseline) in the Member States. The above aspects are key in particular for evaluating the effectiveness, efficiency and added value of the Directive. For example, allowing flexibility in implementation could, in theory, have led to smaller compliance costs for Member State authorities. Yet, such flexibility may also have reduced the added value and the effectiveness of the MCD in meeting its objectives. Maximally harmonised requirements should have ensured consistency in implementation and may have facilitated cross-border trade, but the costs of implementing maximally harmonised requirements may have been larger. The costs associated with implementing the MCD will have been affected by the pre-existing situation in each Member State. Furthermore, in some Member States, with pre-existing legislation, the added value of the Directive may be very small. This legal analysis supports our evaluation of the MCD.

Book excerpt: Purchasing real estate is the most important act in the life of the average consumer” according to the Commission Report, COM(95) 117 final. The mortgage credit market belongs to the most complex markets in which consumers engage and the mortgage credit agreements make 70 % of consumer credits in Europe. The Directive 2014/17/EU on credit agreements for consumers relating to residential immovable property or so-called Mortgage Credit Directive, which was adopted in February 2014, aims at the protection of consumers by following the supreme goal of the establishment and functioning of the internal market. At the same time it tries to fight against financial crisis and to promote financial stability by ensuring that the mortgage credit market and its participants operate in a responsible manner. The author examines the provisions of the new Mortgage Credit Directive in the light of consumer protection and by its critical overview tries to answer the question from the title of this paper: “Are consumers finally getting the protection they deserve?

Book excerpt: CM became a popular borrowing instrument during the bullish housing market of the early 2000s but vanished rapidly during the subsequent downturn. These non-traditional loans (interest only, negative amortization, and teaser mortgages) enable households to postpone loan repayment compared to traditional mortgages and hence relax borrowing constraints. But, they increase household leverage and heighten dependence on mortgage refinancing. CM were chosen by prime borrowers with high income levels seeking to purchase expensive houses relative to their incomes. Borrowers with CM experience substantially higher ex post default rates than borrowers with traditional mortgages with similar characteristics. Illus. This is a print on demand report.

Download or read book Fintech in Europe Promises and Threats written by Chikako Baba and published by INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND. This book was released on 2020-11-13 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Europe’s high pre-existing level of financial development can partly account for the relatively smaller reach of fintech payment and lending activities compared to some other regions. But fintech activity is growing rapidly. Digital payment schemes are expanding within countries, although cross-border and pan-euro area instruments are not yet widespread, notwithstanding important enabling EU level regulation and the establishment of instant payments by the ECB. Automated lending models are developing but remain limited mainly to unsecured consumer lending. While start-ups are pursuing platform-based approaches under minimal regulation, there is a clear trend for fintech companies to acquire balance sheets and, relatedly, banking licenses as they expand. Meanwhile, competition is pushing many traditional banks to adopt fintech instruments, either in-house or by acquisition, thereby causing them to increasingly resemble balanced sheet-based fintech companies. These developments could improve the efficiency and reach of financial intermediation while also adding to profitability pressures for some banks. Although the COVID-19 pandemic could call into question the viability of platform-based lending fintechs funding models given that investors could face much higher delinquencies, it may also offer growth opportunities to those fintechs that are positioned to take advantage of the ongoing structural shift in demand toward virtual finance.

Download or read book Consumer Credit Debt and Investment in Europe written by James Devenney and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-07-12 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Produced under the auspices of an EU-funded Marie Curie research programme, this volume analyses vulnerability in European private law and scrutinises consumer protection in credit and investments in the context of the recent turmoil in financial markets and EU harmonisation initiatives in the area. It explores key issues such as responsible lending, the disclosure of information, consumer confidence, the regulation of consumer investment services and the protection of bank depositors. The chapters emanate from the 'Consumer Protection in Europe: Theory and Practice' duo colloquium which explored consumer protection in Europe in its theoretical and practical dimensions. These topics are even more relevant today given the passage of the Consumer Rights Directive, the appointment of an Expert Group on a common frame of reference, the Green Paper on European Contract Law and the ongoing deliberations surrounding the Common European Sales Law.

Download or read book Bank Size and Systemic Risk written by Mr.Luc Laeven and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2014-05-08 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The proposed SDN documents the evolution of bank size and activities over the past 20 years. It discusses whether this evolution can be explained by economies of scale or “too big to fail” subsidies. The paper then presents evidence on the extent to which bank size and market-based activities contribute to systemic risk. The paper concludes with policy messages in the area of capital regulation and activity restrictions to reduce the systemic risk posed by large banks. The analysis of the paper complements earlier Fund work, including SDN 13/04 and the recent GFSR chapter on “too big to fail” subsidies, and its policy message is in line with this earlier work.
