The total amount of mortgages that the banks granted to the public in June of this year amounted to NIS 6.535 billion - a negligible increase compared to the previous month, which amounted to NIS 6.517 billion, but a 45% decrease compared to June of last year - according to data from the Bank of Israel.
Since the beginning of the year, the public has taken out mortgages for an aggregate amount of NIS 36.5 billion. This is a decrease of about 47% compared to the corresponding period of the previous year.
Earlier this week, the Monetary Committee of the Bank of Israel decided to leave the interest rate unchanged at 4.75%. The background for the decision is apparently the slowdown in the rate of inflation, which reached a level of 4.6% in May. The interest rate is the main cause of the stagnation in the housing market today.
