LONDON: The number of house mortgages approved by the major banks in the United Kingdom fell to an 11-year-low in March, the British Bankers Association said Wednesday.
The association said the drop was symptomatic of low liquidity in the sector, a problem the Bank of England is attempting to remedy with a 50-billion-pound (US$100 billion; €63 billion) asset-swap program announced Monday. The central bank is offering to swap mortgage assets for U.K. Treasury bills in an effort to restore normal functioning of the credit markets.
The 35,417 mortgages approved for house purchases was the lowest figure since the association began tracking data in 1997, and was further evidence of a sharp slowdown in the British housing market.
The association said 129,300 mortgages for all purposes were approved during the month, the lowest level since September 2000. The value of the mortgages, 15.6 billion pounds (US$31 billion; €19.4 billion), was 22.5 percent lower than in March 2007.
