The WSW uses two limits that coexist. The lowest limit is applied as the binding limit. The so-called nominal limit is expected to be the most relevant limit in the coming years. The maximum guarantee on the nominal value, based on the total loans at the original amount, is indexed retroactively and annually from now on. From January 1, 2026, this limit will increase to a maximum of €4.4 billion. Additionally, there is a limit based on the current market value of the loans.
National Performance Agreements
The government, housing corporations, and municipalities have agreed through the National Performance Agreements to structurally build 30,000 new social rental homes per year from 2029 onwards. The higher maximum guarantee gives large corporations more room to realize this.
