Spain moves to ban vulture funds from housing market

Original: Spain seeks to ban ‘vulture funds’ from housing market

Spain is seeking to ban so-called vulture funds from its housing market, according to the Financial Times. The move targets investment funds that buy distressed property cheaply and profit from resales or rent hikes, a practice blamed for worsening housing affordability. Spain has faced growing pressure over a rental and housing crisis, making curbs on foreign financial investors an increasingly prominent political issue.

Why now: Spain's housing affordability crisis has put pressure on the government to act against speculative investment funds.
