Since the Programme's approval in early 2010, average weighted interest rates on rouble-denominated housing mortgage loans in Russia have declined from 13.7 to 12.4% in the primary and secondary markets. When banks participating in the Programme were actively issuing mortgage loans in early 2012, rates went as low as 11.8%.
As part of the Programme, Vnesheconombank bought 32 mortgage-backed bonds for a total of RUB 91.7 bn. In line with the Programme’s terms, two thirds of them were bought using pension savings under the STMC’s management and one third using the Bank’s own funds. The offerings of mortgage-backed bonds made under the Programme were arranged by a subsidiary of Vnesheconombank Group, VEB Capital. In 2014, VEB Capital successfully discharged its commitments by issuing 18 mortgage-backed bonds for a total of RUB 49.356 bn.

These apartments will be offered at a price 20% below market prices. AHML’s financing requirements reach up to RUB 135.5 bn, with loan maturities up to 25 years.
