Romania proposes lowering 'Noua Casă' down payment to 5% for youth under 35

A draft law in Romania seeks to standardize the 'Noua Casă' mortgage program down payment at 5% for applicants under 35, removing the current 15% requirement for loans exceeding 70,000 euros. The proposal aims to increase program competitiveness against commercial bank offerings, though its impact on housing market liquidity and inflation remains uncertain.
