Why the shift, you ask? Well, the market for banks dealing with office and commercial real estate is being a total pain, no kidding. The Pfandbriefbank in Garching near Munich had a tough time in 2023 when the US office real estate market took a nosedive, thanks to a certain pesky virus called coronavirus. But fear not, they've since bounced back like a boss!
First-quarter profits may have taken a dive to a measly 28 million euros (pity party over), but they've been saving some serious dough on potential defaults. They've slashed their risk provision from 47 million euros a year ago to 26 million euros in Q1 this year. And guess what? They've been issuing more loans like there's no tomorrow, shelling out a whopping 1.1 billion euros, up by 400 million from the previous year's first quarter.
