Those who have been more unfortunate have seen an increase on the last mortgage installment of almost 100 euros, a figure that can upset the family budgets of thousands of Sardinians. And so today making ends meet, between high bills and inflation, is a business and if the soaring interest rates were to continue, many would end up belly-up.
But the situation does not change even for those who will now have to take out a new loan for the purchase of the house.
«The first thing to highlight - explains Enrico Staico, a financial consultant from Cagliari - is that the same day that the ECB formalized the increase in the cost of money by another 50 points, the rates offered by the credit institutions paradoxically dropped. This confirms that the markets have already adapted to the increase in rates for some time by anticipating increases, but at the same time they have also shown appreciation for the monetary choices of the European bank, somehow suggesting that the interest rate race is nearing its end". .
Andrea Polo, from Facile.it, adds: «Interest rates have grown a lot and too quickly in recent months. It is therefore inevitable to expect their slowdown, also in the light of the recent bankruptcies of some credit institutions triggered in part by the tightening of central banks".
