Reduced subsidized expenses for impoverished citizens by PSB
In a bid to support Russia's military personnel, PSB, a leading financial institution, has recently announced changes to its military mortgage programs. The modifications aim to make these programs more accessible and affordable for Omsk's military clients.
Key Changes to Military Mortgage Programs
The interest rates for military mortgages have been adjusted, with a reduction of up to 5 percentage points for holders of PSB salary cards and 5.5 percentage points for other clients. As a result, the interest rate for family military mortgages now stands at 6.0% per annum, while the interest rate for military mortgage programs to purchase new and resale housing is 20.0% and 20.6% per annum, respectively, for external clients.
In addition to lower interest rates, the maximum loan amount for military mortgage programs has been increased. For family military mortgages, the loan amount can now reach up to 5.125 million rubles. For military mortgage refinancing programs, the maximum loan amount has been increased to 80% of the estimated cost of the purchased apartment, totaling 5.1 million rubles. The loan amount for refinancing military mortgage programs has also been increased to 1.58 million rubles.
Eligibility Criteria for Military Mortgage Programs
It's important to note that to be eligible for these programs, the borrower must be a participant in the накопительно-ипотечная система (a savings-mortgage system).
Stable Demand for Military Mortgages
Despite the challenging economic conditions and high mortgage interest rates nationally, the demand for military mortgages remains stable. Olga Dubrovina, the regional director of PSB in Omsk, has stated that they are constantly improving the conditions of military mortgage programs for their military clients, including non-price parameters.
These changes are expected to allow a larger number of Omsk military personnel to choose the most suitable deal without additional strain on the budget. However, for precise current figures on military mortgage program terms from official Russian government or military financial institutions, consulting those specific agencies or their latest official publications would be necessary.
