Much of the recent weakness in property values was motivated by a return of vendors on the market.

But the national Chief Economist Martin said Gahbauer supply pressures began to facilitate and there is little to suggest the House price declines accelerate in the coming months.

"There are early signs that the flow of goods on the market may be slow even as potential vendors comply with recent weakness in prices and decide against the commercialization of their properties at the current juncture,"he said.""

Mr. Gahbauer said that this could lead to a repetition of the end of 2008 and early 2009, when a similar behavior has resulted in a decrease in the quantity of goods on the market.

Weakness is also attributed to more buyers unable to obtain a mortgage loan, with house purchase activity significantly lower than the 1990s housing slump, mainly due to the global financial crisis.

"While in the 1990s, the number of mortgages originally subscribed for the purchase of the House saw a decline of unsustainable peaks, then settled close to the medium to long terme.Dans the current slowdown, house purchase approvals fell to an all-time low and are still 50% below the long-term average, said Mr. Gahbauer.

"A general conclusion can be drawn is that, while home prices have fallen so far less than at the beginning of the 1990s, house purchase activity decreased more".

UK biggest banks such as Barclays, HSBC and Royal Bank of Scotland will be hit harder by the question of double taxation as they are likely to pay the fee for the UK Government on their global budgets as well as similar taxes in countries such as the France, the Germany and the United States.

Angela Knight, Executive Director of the British Bankers Association said that double taxation is a "great" concern for the industry with the agreement international on how to deal with the problem seems to be reached soon.

The fee will be introduced on January 1 and should be approximately ￡ 2 5bn a year.

The Government has yet to confirm what will be the effective tax rate for collection with this and other details to be announced in a consultation on the draft of the latest legislation.

The project is to provide certain concessions for the banking sector, the most important is the change in the way in which the tax is applied.

Originally, the plan was to load the levy on the passive all banks balance sheet total of more than ￡ trends, but the project change this to an allowance of ￡ trends, whereby the tax only apply to the excess.

This remove the effect of the cliff that institution with ￡ 19. liabilities 9bn pay nothing and a ￡ 20 billion would be subject to a levy on all its commitments.

"It is a very important change and we are pleased that the Government responded to the concerns of the industry on the issue, said Knight."
