2nd Saint Petersburg International Mortgage Forum Bausparen in Europe Andreas J. Zehnder
The four stages of Bauspar contracts 2.Savings phase t 4.Repayment phase 1. Contract conclusion 3.Loan disbursement
Advantages of „Bausparen“ • Subordinated mortgage • Capital market – independent interest rates • Planning reliability • Flexibility • Well understandable, simple and transparent • Fostering stability and growth • Smaller loan amounts possible • Fostering savings rate and „economic financing“
Subsidy efficiency • Subsidies based on loan interest tax deduction are • intransparent, • hardly calculable, • socially unfair and • increase loan amounts. • Income dependent, earmarked premiums, in contrast, are • well ascertainable, • easily calculable, hence, transparent, • socially reasonable and • can be integrated into the Bauspar system easily.
The successful implementation of the Bauspar system in eastern Europe - examples • Three Bausparkassen since 1992 • Market share almost 60% • More than 60% of all Bauspar customers conclude a second contract • Very low default rate: 0,56% • Positive economic side effects • Every sixth Bauspar customer has a contract at the „Erste Bausparkasse“ (subsidiary of Schwäbisch Hall) 1. Slovakia
Bauspar system implemented in the early 90ies • 6 Bausparkassen engaged • More than 685.000 loans had been allocated until 2003 • ČMSS (subsidiary of Schwäbisch Hall) is the biggest Czech Bausparkasse • Every fifth Bauspar customer saves at the ČMSS • Strong growth of housing construction since 1995 2.

Bauspar system implemented in 1997 • Fundamenta Lakaskassza (subsidiary of Schwäbisch Hall) manages about 1 million contracts corresponding to about 3.1 billion Euros • 128.000 new contracts equalling 1.1 billion Euros concluded last year • 50% increase ! 3. Hungary

V. M. Polterovich & O. J. Starkov: • Bausparen may resolve the informational deficit in Russia • Bausparen works without credit history • Bauspar customers build up their credit history/credit worthiness by saving • Bausparen represents an opportunity and motivates • Information trading concerning creditworthiness fosters credit sector • The implementation of a Russian Bauspar law makes sense and is desirable!
