SPECIAL REPORT: WILL MORTGAGE RATE SURGE HURT HOUSING MARKET IN NIGERIA?

  Nigerians were not buying homes when rates were 18%, what happens now that rates have been increased to over 20%?
Back In October 2011, the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) in an emergency session to bail the depreciating currency, stabilize the naira and peg the inflation pressure; announced the following rate changes: Monetary Policy Rate (MPR) was increased by 275 basis points from 9.25% to 12%. The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) also maintained the current symmetric corridor of +/-200 basis points around the MPR. Also, the Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) was increased from 4 to 8%.
Before seeking and sampling the opinions of experts on these astronomical hikes, several questions besieged my thoughts: Should the quest to save the naira be a singular reason to hike? Did the MPC consider the impact on the real estate sector?

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is gearing up to start requiring lenders to report a lot more borrower data.
As part of a new initiative announced late last week, the CFPB is seeking information from small businesses to help inform a rule making that will require lenders to submit more Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) data than ever before—including credit scores and debt to income ratios both for applications that are accepted and those that are denied. This, the agency says, will help them spot “troublesome trends.”
