22 (6) MIP AMR : ALERT MECHANISM REPORT 2015 AND HOUSING 95

23 (6) MIP AMR : ALERT MECHANISM REPORT 2015 AND HOUSING - Belgium Inflation-adjusted house prices were stable in 2013 following a relatively flat trend in recent years. - Germany House price dynamics and housing market developments in certain segments and regions may warrant close monitoring. 96

24 (6) MIP AMR : ALERT MECHANISM REPORT 2015 AND HOUSING - Spain House prices and residential construction as a share of GDP fell further in 2013 but recent data suggest the housing market is stabilising. - Malta Stable house price developments, robust employment growth, though along a relatively low activity rate, and a low unemployment rate reduce the risk that internal imbalances will emerge. 97

25 (6) MIP AMR : ALERT MECHANISM REPORT 2015 AND HOUSING - Netherlands In March 2014, the Commission concluded that the Netherlands was experiencing macroeconomic imbalances, in particular involving the continuing adjustment in the housing market and the high level of indebtedness of the household sector. The housing market appears to be recovering with house prices picking up and the number of transactions and building permits increasing, paving the way for an increase in household investment. - Romania In the housing market, the correction of inflation-adjusted house prices continues, albeit at a slower pace than in the previous years. The weak real estate market poses challenges to banks' loans portfolios, which are largely mortgage-backed. 98

26 (6) MIP AMR : ALERT MECHANISM REPORT 2015 AND HOUSING - United Kingdom In March 2014, the Commission concluded that the United Kingdom was experiencing macroeconomic imbalances, in particular involving the areas of household debt, which is linked to the high levels of mortgage debt and structural characteristics of the housing market, and because of the declining market share of UK exports. House prices continue to increase again after a small correction phase. ( ) However, the regional variation in house price growth, together with continued high levels of indebtedness, suggest that the housing sector might be vulnerable to shocks in the medium term that could spillover to the wider economy. 99
