Bank interest rates for corporations
Data for cost of borrowing and deposit interest rates for corporations (Chart 1)
The composite cost-of-borrowing indicator, which combines interest rates on all loans to corporations, decreased, driven by the interest rate effect in November 2021. The interest rate on new loans of over €1 million with a floating rate and an initial rate fixation period of up to three months decreased by 8 basis points to 1.07%, driven by the interest rate effect. The rate on new loans of the same size with an initial rate fixation period of over three months and up to one year fell by 8 basis points to 1.11%, driven by the interest rate effect. The interest rate on new loans of over €1 million with an initial rate fixation period of over ten years increased by 24 basis points to 1.41%. This increase was due to developments in two euro area countries and was mainly driven by the interest rate effect. In the case of new loans of up to €250,000 with a floating rate and an initial rate fixation period of up to three months, the average rate charged stayed almost constant at 1.80%.
As regards new deposit agreements, the interest rate on deposits from corporations with an agreed maturity of up to one year stayed constant at -0.36% in November 2021. The interest rate on overnight deposits from corporations stayed constant at -0.03%.
