Mortgage interest rates worldwide varied greatly in June 2025, from less than ******percent in many European countries to as high as ***percent in Turkey. The average mortgage rate in a country depends on the central bank's base lending rate and macroeconomic indicators such as inflation and forecast economic growth. Since 2022, inflationary pressures have led to rapid increases in mortgage interest rates. Which are the leading mortgage markets? An easy way to estimate the importance of the mortgage sector in each country is by comparing household debt depth, or the ratio of the debt held by households compared to the county's GDP. In 2024, Switzerland, Australia, and Canada had some of the highest household debt to GDP ratios worldwide. While this indicator shows the size of the sector relative to the country’s economy, the value of mortgages outstanding allows to compare the market size in different countries. In Europe, for instance, the United Kingdom, Germany, and France were the largest mortgage markets by outstanding mortgage lending. Mortgage lending trends in the U.S. In the United States, new mortgage lending soared in 2021. This was largely due to the growth of new refinance loans that allow homeowners to renegotiate their mortgage terms and replace their existing loan with a more favorable one. Following the rise in interest rates, the mortgage market cooled, and refinance loans declined.

Driven by mortgage lending as their largest revenue stream, New Zealand’s banks have maintained robust revenues despite cooling property prices between 2022-23 and 2023-24. The RBNZ's rate hikes from 0.25% in 2020-21 to an average of 5.48% in 2023-24 boosted mortgage interest income. While foreign investment and tight inventories keep real estate prices afloat, technology upgrades and regulations add cost pressures for major banks, squeezing profit margins. After falling over the three years through 2021-22, resulting from low interest rates and reduced mortgage revenue, banks found growth through 2024-25, with heightened interest rates raising mortgage revenue. However, a drop-off is expected in 2025-26 as rates fall again. Overall, industry revenue has risen at an annualised 9.3% over the past five years and is expected to total $37.5 billion in 2025-26, when revenue is estimated to drop by 18.4%. Beyond mortgages, banks face challenges from shifting agricultural lending and evolving regulations like the Deposit Takers Act and the CoFI legislation. Dairy price volatility, land-use changes and more rigorous oversight have subdued traditional farm loan activity. In response, major banks – ANZ, ASB, BNZ and Westpac – are modernising their operations with machine learning, enhanced cybersecurity, fintech developments and updated banking apps. These initiatives aim to elevate customer engagement and ensure compliance, but also increase costs and complexity. Looking ahead, reduced capital requirements will increase competition from smaller banks, while open banking regulations are likely to spur data-sharing and fintech collaborations. Institutions are accelerating investments in cloud systems and analytics for greater efficiency and resilience. Simultaneously, sustainability commitments grow, driving innovative loan products and improving public trust. Although margins remain tight and interest-rate volatility persists, banks that balance prudent lending with technological and sustainable strategies are poised for a moderate recovery. Industry revenue is projected to climb at an annualised 2.4% through 2030-31, reaching $42.1 billion.
