The refinancing wall
meets higher rates.

Loans written between 2019 and 2022 are reaching maturity in a market where values are lower and money costs more. Positions that still perform today have to be looked at now, while the options are still open.

€74 billion

European debt funding gap for loans maturing 2026 to 2028: refinancing that today's values and lending terms will not cover, with most of it falling in 2026. Office loans make up 41%.

starts.

A loan can keep paying while the position behind it weakens. Acting early keeps more options open.
