Home loan volumes in Europe have actually collapsed.
Buyers can no longer fund themselves with loans at the level of previous years due to considerably greater interest rates.And yet, the ECB has actually not yet spoken its last word on tightening up financial policy.Raising rates of interest further will neither stop inflation nor avoid the property markets collapse.The ECB is powerless in the face of changes in the world energy market and is in a difficult situation.

Now, unfortunately, the scenario appears to be emerging.
The graph speaks more than words.
