On 3 July 2025, from 10:00 to 12:30, the HOUS Special Committee will hold a public hearing on ‘Financialisation in the Housing Market: Effects and Policy Responses’. This hearing will examine the impact of financialisation and speculation on rising housing costs, particularly the role of institutional investors, private equity, and vulture funds in the real estate market. Policy measures such as rent control, taxation, and the regulation of large-scale real estate ownership will be discussed.
The hearing will be structured around two panels. In the first panel experts will explore the fundamental economic drivers of the financialisation in the housing market. The second panel will focus on how to address the challenges of financialisation in the housing market.
