About
Euribor is the benchmark interest rate for interbank lending within the Eurozone. It's primarily used in Spain to calculate interest rates for variable-rate mortgages. Euribor is currently newsworthy due to a significant increase in its value, driven by the conflict in the Middle East, specifically the war in Iran. This conflict has raised concerns about rising inflation and potential interest rate hikes by the European Central Bank (ECB). The recent surge in Euribor marks its largest daily and monthly increases since the financial crisis and 2023, respectively, and pushes it near 3%, levels not seen since September 2024. Consequently, mortgage holders with variable rates will experience increased monthly payments for the first time in approximately two years, making credit more expensive overall. This development contrasts sharply with earlier predictions of Euribor remaining below 2% until 2027.
