“The average interest rate on new housing loans rose to
1.88% (1.47% in June), registering the biggest monthly rise in the average
interest rate on these loans since the beginning of the statistical series in
2003”, advances the Banco de Portugal (BdP).
According to the bank, “this evolution is in line with the
rise in the average Euribor rates in June, as there is typically a lag of one
month between the Euribor interest rates and their reflection on the applied
interest rates”.
In July, more than half of the amount of new housing loans
used the 12-month Euribor index, whose average value rose from 0.29% in May to
0.85% in June.
In terms of new consumer loans, the average interest rate
increased to 7.88% (7.79% in June).

Borrowing be it for shares or property is leverage.All great when everything is going up but disastrous when asset prices turn south.
