Aumento de morosidad hipotecaria en Australia por alzas de tasas

Commonwealth Bank informó que los préstamos hipotecarios en mora crecieron al 0,80 % de su cartera en el trimestre de septiembre y que la utilidad se mantuvo en 2,8 mil millones de dólares australianos, después de que el Banco de la Reserva de Australia elevó la tasa oficial al 4,85 %, su nivel más alto en 18 años. El aumento se dio en medio de una presión creciente sobre los prestatarios tras el endurecimiento de la política monetaria. El aumento de la tasa impulsó a bancos y economistas a instar a los hogares a revisar sus gastos y considerar la refinanciación.

El corredor hipotecario John Maxwell aconsejó a los propietarios refinanciar para compensar el mayor costo de los préstamos variables. Los economistas señalaron que, aunque los pagos hipotecarios aumentan, las subidas también mejoran los rendimientos de las cuentas de ahorro y se consideran la principal herramienta para frenar la inflación persistente, que se mantiene alrededor del 3,5 % mientras otras economías importantes la han reducido al 2-2,5 %.
