Immobilien: Enteignung von Wohnungskonzernen: Banken warnen vor Folgen für Investitionen und Finanzierung
Die deutschen Geldhäuser kritisieren die Pläne für eine Vergesellschaftung von Wohnimmobilien. Gerade Banken in Berlin äußern sich skeptisch – sie müssten selbst mit Auswirkungen rechnen.
Deutsche banks, especially those based in Berlin, have strongly opposed plans to nationalize large residential real estate companies, according to a survey by Handelsblatt. The banks warn that such a move could have severe consequences for their investment and financing activities. Berliner Sparkasse, the second-largest savings bank in Germany with a balance sheet of 43 billion euros, had already opposed the nationalization of large residential real estate holdings before the election and warned of risks to the housing market, tenants, and the economy.
Mayor candidate Elif Eralp of the left-wing party has vowed to pursue her plans, but the specifics of how she would implement them remain unclear. The main concern for banks is the loss of security interests, which allow them to seize properties in case of payment issues. This could lead to higher mortgage rates and negatively impact their financial statements, including profit margins, equity return, return on capital, and cost-income ratio.
The CDU, too, warns against questioning the reliability of the security system that has survived two world wars and the hyperinflation of the 1920s. They argue that a nationalization would pose a significant burden on the entire German banking system.
