In 2023, the volume of household loans for house purchasing across key European countries showed varied dynamics. Germany led with €1.72 trillion, reflecting strong growth at 6.01%, followed by the Netherlands at €0.84 trillion, growing by 2.98%. Spain (€0.51 trillion) and Italy (€0.48 trillion) recorded modest changes of -0.33% and 2.37%, respectively. Austria increased by 3.94% to €0.17 trillion.
