Housing Finance Organisation to Sell €135 Million in Non-Performing Loans

The Housing Finance Organisation (HFO) plans to sell non-performing loans (NPLs) totaling €135 million towards the end of 2027 or early 2028. Of this amount, €50 million relates to loans secured by mortgaged properties, while the remaining €85 million concerns loans with an eight-year delay (96 overdue installments). The HFO will launch a tender in April to select a consulting firm to manage the sale. The HFO’s General Manager, Christoforos Kaplani, stated that NPLs have decreased from €270 million last year to €254 million in February, with €24 million relating to restructurings. Mr. Kaplani assured that the HFO’s delay problem has been resolved, including old cases. According to Mr. Kaplani, every €100,000 in NPLs deprives the Organisation of the ability to grant 4.5 loans of the same amount. Furthermore, loan restructurings totaling €50.5 million have been completed, with loans of €85.5 million having been restructured. The HFO is also undergoing a technological upgrade, with infrastructure transfer from KEDIPES and plans for online banking services, credit card issuance, and ATM installation. The Organisation offers favorable loans with an interest rate of around 3.25% and maintains deposits of €890 million.
