8. Conclusions
• Lending perspectives have improved recently, however both loan
demand and supply still remain wary.
• Unstable legal environment, its shortcomings and still high credit risk
are the main supply side constraints for lending. Bad credit history
remains a legacy from the credit boom.
• Low savings and insufficient own funds restrict demand for mortgage
loans. Many people simply do not want to be indebted.
• “Creditworthy” demand is limited, and formalizing of the shadow
economy is important for lending recovery.
9. Last but not least:
Is there a potential for rental market growth?
