Swiss regulator warns mortgage risks are rising as banks stretch lending rules
GENEVA, Nov 22 (Reuters) – Switzerland’s financial market regulator warned on Saturday of growing risks in the housing market, saying banks were stretching mortgage lending criteria as property prices continue to climb.

“We have found that the scope for granting mortgages is being exploited excessively by various banks.”
Internal criteria are either too loose, or a high proportion of financing goes beyond some banks’ own affordability rules, he stated.

FINMA intervenes when it sees exceptions of that level, he added.
