Credit risk in banks has not yet undergone a fundamental assessment

According to a report published on Thursday, the central bank of Germany is estimating a downturn but no serious correction in the property market of the country, even with warnings of overvaluation.

Vice president of the Bundesbank, Claudia Buch told CNBC’s Joumanna Bercetche: “We are seeing a turndown in the price growth for residential real estate, but it’s not that the overall dynamic has reversed, so we still have overvaluations in the market.”

The increase in residential property prices from 2010 to mid-2022 and overvaluations in the market has increased in German cities and towns ranging from 15% to 40% and throughout the country in 2021.

Analysts have predicted an acute decline for the sector, including at Deutsche Bank. Housing prices have already reduced by around 5% since March, according to forecasts by Jochen Moebert, a macroeconomic analyst at the German lender house prices will fall between 20% to 25% in total from peak to trough variation.

Buch said that the extent to which the easing of credit criteria brought on by a very rapid rise in residential mortgage credit raised concerns for the central bank.

“There we also see a slowdown, so we don’t currently think that additional measures are taken to slow down the build-up of vulnerabilities in this market segment, but we do think the market need to keep monitoring because we know that private households are extremely exposed to mortgage loans, being  the biggest component in private household debt,” said Buch.

Additionally, Buch said that households are less exposed to increasing interest rates than in some other countries because the market has the highest share of fixed-rate mortgages.

Buch said, “Of course, the risk doesn’t disappear, it’s still in the system, but this exposure to interest rate risk is large with the financial sector, the banks who’ve done that lending concerning mortgages.”

And also other issues have been highlighted in the Financial Stability Review for 2022 by the Bundesbank, such as the declining macroeconomic environment, the downturn in German economic activity, rising energy prices, and the decline in real disposable income.

It reports that the German economy has reached a “turning point” as a result of financial market price corrections that have caused portfolios of assets to be written down. Additionally, the lists rising collateral requirements for futures trading as well as rising dangers associated with business loans.

Despite the fact that the credit risk in banks has not yet undergone a fundamental assessment, it claims that its financial system is “susceptible to adverse developments.”

Buch said that it is clear that we need a financial system that is strong enough to keep building up resilience over the next time.

Gujarat government came up with the new impact fee policy

Urban development officials have started accepting applications for regularization of illegal structures under the new impact fee rule.

 

The state government of Ahmedabad had announced the new impact fee policy on October 17. 

The state urban development department has clarified that applications will be rejected from Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA), Ahmedabad Fire and Emergency Services (AFES) and health department which are without a no-objection certificate.

Uzder the new impact fee rule, the urban development officials have started accepting applications for regularization of illegal constructions which comes with a rider.

According to the reports, the state government accentuated the prescribed provisions in Fire Prevention and Life Safety Regulations 2016, Clinical Establishments (Registration and Regulation) Act, 2010 and the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, the rules laid out.

The residential buildings (taller than 15 meters) and all commercial buildings will have to take NOCs from RERA, AFES and the health department, to ensure that the buildings have fire exits while applying for regularization, and have sufficient space to operate with installed fire equipments, said Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC). 

Although, there is no clarity regarding the NOC from the health department as to which health department will issue the NOC.

While the AMC has its own health department, the areas such as Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority or Gandhinagar Urban Development Authority which comes under urban development authorities don’t have health departments, where the health-related matters are managed by the panchayats.

An AMC official said that the state government has started accepting applications for regularization of illegal constructions, but the investigation is remaining due to uncertainty, and any clarity will come up only after the assembly poll.

Officials of RERA and health department have been asked to make sure that no pending RERA related issues are left over and hospitals or clinics pursue the Clinical Establishments Act.

Buyers demanded an audit of the Expressway tower in Gurgaon, of which only 60% has done

The work is not going on the site of Express Tower for one-and-half years. Only 60% of the work had been done to the present date. The residential project was launched in 2017 on seven acres of land.

Homebuyers of Expressway Tower pushed the town and country planning department (DTC) to schedule a meeting of the developer and investors to talk about the issues and demanded a structural and forensic audit of the affordable housing project of Sector 109 on 6 December.

Project was launched with a four-year deadline on seven acres of land in 2017, of which only 60% of the work is accomplished. Most of the home buyers have paid at least 90% of the total cost of the flat and presently there is no work going on at the site.

Eventually when the work had been discontinued at the site for one-and-half years, residents have reported, the builder increased the demand and threatened to cancel the unit if the money was not paid.

Narendra Solanki, senior town planner, had also spurred homebuyers to meet the district town planner for conducting the structural and forensic audit of the towers.

“Overall, the quality of construction work is very poor. Moreover, the structure of the buildings has weakened over time. We demand a structural audit of the buildings as well as forensic audit of money collected from allottees.” Col Naveen Hooda said, representing the homebuyers.

NEW DELHI: Institutional investments in Delhi-NCR‘s real estate market leaped 2.5 times year-on-year to USD 754 million during the first three quarters January-September, according to Colliers India.

The total investments in Indian real estate rose 18 per cent to USD 3.6 billion during January-September this year, from 3.03 billion in the corresponding period of the previous year. The inflows were driven by the office sector that accounted for 50 per cent share.

As per the data, Delhi-NCR attracted institutional investments worth USD 754 million during the first nine months of this year, compared to USD 301 million in the year-ago period.

Chennai saw a sharp jump in inflows to USD 345 million from USD 98 million whereas in the city of Bengaluru, investments grew 18 per cent to USD 375 million from USD 317 million.

Mumbai real estate institutional investment market rose 5 per cent to USD 477 million, from USD 452 million, on the contrary Pune witnessed a fall of 96 per cent in USD 9 million from USD 232 million. 

Hyderabad and Kolkata have not received any investments during January-September this year, as against USD 486 million and USD 105 million respectively in the year-ago period.

The investments in other cities or multi-city increased 54 per cent to USD 1,619 million during January-September this year, from 1,049 million in the year-ago period.

Piyush Gupta, Managing Director, Capital Markets and Investment Services, Colliers India was quoted as saying, “Domestic capital is seen to flow across asset acquisitions, with credit in multiple asset classes with varied pooled structures,”

The sentiment of global investment firms to invest in India remains strong in spite of global slowdown trends, he said, adding that the current state of economics, with respect to inflation and interest rates, is not perceived to have a long-term impact. 

Domestic investors have become more active in the market, with their investment inflows accounting for 18 per cent share during January-September 2022 compared to 14 per cent share during the same period last year.

However, global investors continue to dominate funding activity with higher participation in entity-led deals.

“With global investors partnering with local developers, there is ample dry powder to be invested in the Indian real estate market, especially in the office, and the industrial sectors,” said Vimal Nadar, Senior Director and Head of Research, Colliers India.

Over the next few quarters, he said there might be some slowdown in deployment of funds due to the recession.

However, Nadar said the Indian market is relatively well-insulated and investors continue to view it favourably.

Rustomjee signs pact to develop affordable housing project in Kalyan worth 2-million-sq-ft area

Rustomjee Group is currently in the process of raising funds through its initial public offer (IPO), will invest over Rs 500 crore to develop the project that will be completed in the next five years.

Realty developer Rustomjee Group has entered into an agreement with three local landlords to jointly develop a nearly 2 million sq. ft. affordable residential project on a 12-acre land parcel in Kalyan near Mumbai.

The landlords will be compensated with 21% of the developed built-up space of the proposed project as part of the agreement with the developer.

Keyblue Realtors, a subsidiary of Rustomjee Group has entered into this development agreement with three local landlords that will undertake the execution of the proposed project.

Keyblue Realtors, in addition to the built-up space in the said project will also be paying Rs 20 crore to these land owners as a refundable deposit. The agreement was executed and registered on September 30, according to the documents accessed through CRE Matrix, a real estate data analytics firm.

Within 45 days of the registration of the joint development agreement, the developer is expected to prepare and submit a tentative master plan for the development of the project to the land owners.

This master plan is expected to comprise the layout of the said land reflecting the location of the buildings, a construction schedule and delivery timelines, and a schedule of permissions and sanctions to be obtained by the land owners.

As of March 31, 2022, Keystone Realtors, which operates under the brand Rustomjee, had 32 completed projects, 12 ongoing projects and 19 forthcoming projects across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR). These include affordable, mid and mass, aspirational, premium and super-premium segments.

It has developed 20.05 million sq. ft. of high-value and affordable residential buildings, premium gated estates, townships, corporate parks, retail spaces, and various other real estate projects.

Peripheral areas of Mumbai, the country’s commercial capital, have been witnessing strong interest from real estate developers given the state government’s thrust on infrastructure projects aimed at improving connectivity and making affordable housing available to the rising population.

Last week, deputy chief minister Devendra Fadnavis reinforced the government of Maharashtra’s commitment to developing infrastructure and knowledge-based industries in and around the Neral-Karjat region near Mumbai and to developing Panvel and the Navi Mumbai Airport Influence Notified Area (NAINA) project as Mumbai 3.0.

Sebi cancels registration of Brickwork Ratings India citing violations and improper rating

Brickwork has been seen failing to follow a proper rating process and exercise due diligence while providing ratings, Sebi highlighted these violations

NEW DELHI: In a strict action, the capital markets regulator Sebi cancelled the licence of Brickwork Ratings India and ordered to wind down its operations within six months for allegedly violating various rules.

Further, Sebi has even barred the agency from taking any new clients.

It is cited as a first instance where Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has cancelled the licence of a credit rating agency.

In its order, Sebi highlighted several violations by Brickwork, including that it failed to follow a proper rating process and exercise due diligence while providing ratings.

Brickwork failed to ensure proper maintenance of records to support its ratings and to make correct disclosures in its press releases concerning some issuers. It did not conclude the rating exercise within the timelines prescribed as per its own internal manual, Sebi said.

According to Sebi, Brickwork also made a delay in disseminating information with respect to monitoring of rating and also failed to follow an appropriate rating process.

Sebi said that Brickwork failed to address the issue of conflict of interest arising due to a Rating Committee Member (other than the Managing Director/ Chief Executive Officer) having business development roles.

“Noticee (Brickwork) failed to exercise proper skill, care and diligence while discharging its duties as a credit rating agency, which has defeated the very purpose of regulations i.e. investor protection and orderly development of the securities markets,” the watchdog said.

As per Sebi, repeated lapses noticed across multiple inspections conducted by Sebi showed that governance changes recommended in earlier inspections and monetary penalties imposed have not proved effective or deterred the noticee in addressing very basic requirements of running a credit rating agency.

“Strict regulatory action, in my considered view, is required at this juncture to address the issue and protect the market ecosystem,” Sebi Whole Time Member Ashwani Bhatia said in the order.

Sebi has cancelled the “certificate of registration granted to the noticee, i.e. Brickwork Ratings India Pvt. Ltd as a credit rating agency”.

“The noticee shall wind down its operations (including intimating its client about closure of its operations) within a period of six months. The noticee shall not take any new clients/fresh mandates,” it added.

The regulator carried out inspections of Brickwork for the periods April 2014 to September 2015 and April 2017 to September 2018 and the contraventions observed in the two inspections led to initiation of separate adjudication proceedings against Brickwork.

Later, the regulator undertook a joint inspection with RBI in January 2020 of the records and documents of Brickwork, for the period from October 2018-November 2019 to ascertain any violation of credit rating agency rules.

In April this year, Sebi undertook a joint inspection with RBI of the records and documents of Brickwork for the period from December 2019 – January 2022, which is at present pending.

However, the nature of discrepancies or violations contained in the prima facie observations emanating from the fourth inspection are also similar in nature to those contained in the other three inspections, Sebi said.
