The Senate approved a reduction of the down payment from 15% to 5% for young people under 35 in the 'Noua Casă' program, pending approval from the Chamber of Deputies. This change aims to make housing more accessible by lowering the initial amount needed, potentially increasing the total loan amount and costs. Experts warn that this could lead to higher demand and pressure on prices, particularly in areas with limited housing supply.
