Last year the country’s mortgage lending fell for the first time since 2008.

AZN 7.38 million against AZN 6.41 million in March, AZN 8.05 million in February, AZN 4.69 million in January 2012 and AZN 9.3 million in October (the 2011 best indicator per month).

For Jan-Apr 2012, the volume of the mortgages refinanced by the Fund totaled AZN 26.5 million versus AZN 77 million for 2011.

In 2011, the volume of the mortgages refinanced by the Fund made up 85.08% of its volume in 2010 (AZN 90.5 million).

The process of mortgage lending on the AMF standards started in the country in March 2006 and reached AZN 362.56 million since then.
