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, remained broadly unchanged in May 2020. 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 remained broadly unchanged at 1.23%. The rate for new loans of the same size with an initial rate fixation period of over three months and up to one year decreased by 6 basis points to 1.07%, mainly driven by the weight effect. The rate for new loans of over €1 million with an initial rate fixation period of over ten years increased by 18 basis points to 1.45%. This increase was due to developments in two euro area countries and was mostly 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 decreased by 11 basis points to 1.87%. This decrease was due to developments in two euro area countries and was driven by the interest rate effect.
As regards new deposit agreements, the interest rate on deposits from corporations with an agreed maturity of up to one year decreased by 5 basis points to -0.13% in May 2020, driven by the interest rate effect. The interest rate on overnight deposits from corporations stayed constant at 0.00%.
