High interest rates impact real estate growth: ICICI

By Saheer Karimbayil,Friday, 06 June 2008, 06:19 Hrs
Mumbai: High interest rate and prices have impacted the growth of real estate sector in India, says home loan lender ICICI Bank. However the bank maintained that there was no asset bubble in the sector.

"Clearly there is a slowdown in the number of deals. Interest rates have gone up from eight percent in the past to now 12 percent and prices too have gone up but an asset bubble is not there," ICICI Bank Joint Managing Director Chanda Kochhar said, adding that a correction was expected as the present slowdown was in number of deals and not so much in prices.

"Since it is genuine demand in general and the salary levels are increasing, both customers and builders are playing a wait and watch game. Builders were able to hold prices as they were sitting on equity capital and not debt, which had to be paid off," she said.

"Now they can afford to sit with the capital and that is the reason why prices have not corrected. The question is who will blink first," Kochhar added.

According to her, in India the speculative part in real estate had always been small and growth was largely driven by actual demand and affordability of people.
