Financialization of real estate in Brazil: an analysis of Real Estate Receivables Certificates (2005-2020)

Abstract

This work seeks to understand the financialization process of real estate in Brazil focusing on securitization operations, created in order to connect the real estate market to the capital market. The analysis is based on a sample of data on Real Estate Receivables Certificates (CRI) issued between 2005 and 2020, mapping the interests and interactions between agents involved in the assignment of real estate credits. It shows the limited capacity of CRI (and other instruments) for housing finance. Nevertheless, it has played a fundamental role for the financial sector: the acceleration of the capital reproduction cycle in the real estate sector and the absorption of real estate wealth under investment funds.
