ESMA explores risk exposures to real estate in EU securities markets and investment funds

January 10, 2024--The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), the EU's financial markets regulator and supervisor, is publishing its first analysis of the exposures the EU securities and markets and asset management sector have to real estate.
The analysis suggests that:
Debt levels in the real estate sector are elevated with wider risk implications from non-bank financial market players.

Interlinkages with the banking system are important and arise through entity exposures and activities. Through these, sector shocks may get transmitted across the EU financial system.

Going forward, interest rate risk can be expected to continue to shape real estate market exposures. Credit risk indicators for real estate companies have started to show signs of deterioration and liquidity mismatches remain a key vulnerability for real estate investment funds.
