Company Information
Subtitle: The transaction figures from the EUROPACE platform indicate
that the market for mortgages stabilised towards the end of the 
quarter. Personal loans and building society accounts are also 
becoming increasingly popular.
The total volume of financing
transactions processed in the EUROPACE marketplace amounted to about 
Euro 3.04 billion in the first quarter 2010. As such, the volume has 
remained virtually stable and is a mere 0.16 percent lower by 
quarter-on-quarter comparison. This moderate development is due, 
above all, to the fact that mortgage transactions were still 
declining slightly at the start of the quarter.  Currently, the 
volume of mortgage transactions amounts to Euro 2.473 billion, 
equivalent to a 6 percent decline by quarter-on-quarter comparison. 
According to Thilo Weigand, member of the Management Board and 
responsible for the Financial Service Providers business unit at 
Hypoport AG: "Compared with the slumps witnessed in past quarters, 
this indicates that the market is returning to normal." Both building
society accounts and personal loans continue to show satisfactory 
development. Compared with the previous quarter, personal loans 
increased by 15.38 percent in the first quarter 2010 to their current
volume of Euro 360 million. This equates to a rise of 19.6 percent 
over the figure posted for the same quarter last year. Building 
society accounts increased by 554.8 percent compared with the same 
quarter last year. In a quarter-on-quarter comparison with the fourth
quarter 2009, the latest addition to the EUROPACE platform increased 
its volume by another 107.2 percent to its current level of Euro 203 
million.
