June 29 (Reuters) – In a bid to address the challenges faced by credit-worthy borrowers in the commercial real estate market, U.S. banking regulators are calling on lenders to collaborate and provide assistance.
The statement released by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp, the National Credit Union Administration, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency emphasizes the need for financial institutions to work “prudently and constructively” with borrowers experiencing financial stress.
With declining property values and increasing loan defaults, office loans have become a source of concern for some U.S. lenders.
While Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has acknowledged the pressure on commercial real estate lending, he believes that it is unlikely to pose a threat to the broader financial system.
The updated guidance introduces short-term loan accommodations, such as deferring payments, making partial payments, or providing other forms of assistance and relief to borrowers.
According to Citigroup analysts, banks account for 54% of the $5.7 trillion commercial real estate market, with small lenders holding 70% of the loans in this sector.
Real estate data provider Trepp indicates that over $1.4 trillion in U.S. commercial real estate loans will mature by 2027, with approximately $270 billion coming due this year.
