Concerning real estate loans with an initial rate fixation period over 10 years, the monthly volumes increased by 27 million euros since January to reach 147 million euros. Interest rates of these loans are grouped by intervals of five years of initial rate fixation [4], and have changed as follows compared with January 2026:

Weighting method

The interest rates applied to new contracts are weighted within the categories of instruments concerned by the amounts of individual contracts. This results from the compilation of national aggregates carried out by reporting credit institutions and by the BCL.

[1] New contracts refer to any new agreement concluded between the household or the non-financial corporation and the reporting agent. New contracts include all financial contracts which mention for the first time the interest rate pertaining to the deposit or credit and all renegotiations of existing deposits or credits.

[2] Variable interest rate or rate with an initial fixation period inferior or equal to 1 year.

[3] Fixed interest rate weighted by the amounts of contracts for all mortgage loans granted, whatever the initial rate fixation period (above 1 year). This series has been published by the BCL since February 2009 only for methodological reasons linked to the identification of reporting agents.

[4] Following an update of the statistical data collection, since December 2022 the BCL has been collecting a breakdown of interest rates with an initial fixation rate of over 10 years in five-year intervals.
