A non-governmental majority is looking to limit Danes’ appetite for cheap, flexible interest mortgages (flexloans), as Denmark’s largest financial institution and financial experts warn in today’s Berlingske Business that an interest hike could threaten the entire Danish financial system.
“If interest rates rise, it can cause fears that the mortgage market can suffer major losses. It will make bond investors nervous, which can push up interest rates even more. So if we are to have as solid a system as possible it would be sensible to have lower limits for flexible and adjustable rate mortgages,” says Lars Rohde, who as a former director of Realkredit Danmark was one of those who developed the flexloan.
