This is encouraging news, since this will further mobilize home purchases. I think that anyone who was planning it, looking at the market, ruled out the reappearance of mortgage credit in 2024. It came through the window and it is a very good sign .”

“They are the first mortgage loans that are coming out after a long time of almost none. It existed, but there was little ,” says Federico González Rouco, an economist specializing in housing who works at the consulting firm Empiria, led by Hernán Lacunza, when Banco Hipotecario decided on the new line of credit this Tuesday, and added: “ Many banks were "very reluctant to provide mortgage credit , since the possibility that Alberto Fernández's government would modify the conditions was very latent, an issue that was discussed every few months."
