Participation in Rics Italia Conference: “Il mutuo del vicino è sempre più green”

Abaco Team was present at the first edition of the RICS Annual Conference in Italy to talk about green mortgages and regulatory developments in the field of Real Estate finance.

The new European Directive on building efficiency will be a formidable accelerator for heritage regeneration processes and will offer new development models to Real Estate.

Nicola Arcaini, Loan Services Bss Line Director, participated in the conference as a speaker within the panel Sustainable Finance & Investments: Green Loan/Green Bond. «The future of mortgages is green, and banks are a fundamental driver in the transition process of Italian Real Estate» commented our colleague and adding that there will be an ever-increasing need for qualified consultancy to guide the efficiency and regeneration processes of buildings, from the smallest scale (of the single house) to that of the rethinking of entire urban realities.

The market will see an increasingly marked gap between the redeveloped assets, with constantly growing demand and which will increase in value, and the share that will not be regenerated, until it no longer actually has buyers.

In this scenario, various actors will have to play their part:

• the legislator with clear and long-term rules;
• the banking system by providing widespread and capillary incentives for green mortgages;
• territorial public bodies by grounding the administrative processes to implement this process of evolution.
