Fitch Ratings revised its office delinquency forecast for 2024 and 2025.
Maturing office loan refinanceability will reach no more than 16%-21%.
AdvertisementThings are not looking up for the US office sector, with loan performance set to slump even further in 2025, Fitch Ratings said.
Driving the fallout are still-elevated interest rates, cooling economic growth, and a stricter lending environment, Fitch wrote on Friday.
Fitch anticipates low refinanceability on maturing office loans through this year, with 16%-21% able to refinance.
