In October, the implicit interest rate for all housing loan contracts reached 0.803% (0.785% in the previous month). Contracts signed over the last three months saw the rate fall from 0.702% in September to 0.665% in October. Average capital in debt rose by 354 euros to 57,688 euros. The average instalment showed the biggest rise since the start of the current series, up 14 euros to 251 euros.
The INE noted that the results for the month under review were influenced by the end of the bank moratoria on mortgage loans, which were implemented when the COVID-19 pandemic began in April 2020 and led to reductions in the implicit interest rate and instalment.
