The one-year Euribor rate is the most common reference interest rate for housing loans in Finland. Recently, the rate rose to 3.589 percent, marking an increase from the previous day’s 3.567 percent. Over the past year, this reference rate has fluctuated but has shown a downward trend after reaching a peak of over 4.2 percent last fall.
Compared to the one-year Euribor rate, shorter-term Euribor rates experienced more moderate shifts. The six-month rate fell nominally to 3.676 percent, while the three-month rate saw a slight increase to 3.714 percent. The movements of these shorter-term rates are closely tied to the decisions and announcements made by the European Central Bank (ECB) regarding key interest rates.
Recent data shows that harmonized inflation in the euro area slowed to 2.5 percent in June, despite the ECB’s goal of maintaining an annual inflation rate of around 2 percent. With ongoing discussions about future ECB decisions, mortgage debtors and homeowners are advised to keep a close eye on market trends and interest rate movements for potential impacts on their financial situation.
In Finland, the inflation rate remains relatively low at 0.6 percent, making it the slowest in the euro area.
The European Central Bank (ECB) has lowered its key interest rate in June with expectations surrounding future interest rate cuts being discussed afterwards.
While there have been no further announcements regarding interest rates cuts from ECB yet, recent data shows that harmonized inflation in the euro area slowed down significantly in June.
With this information in mind, it is important for mortgage debtors and homeowners to monitor market trends and interest rates movements closely as they may have an impact on their financial situation.
In conclusion, housing loans borrowers should be aware of any changes in their country’s reference interest rates and how they can affect their financial well-being as they make informed decisions regarding their mortgage options.
