Briefings
Euribor rates fell at six and twelve-month intervals while the three-month rate rose, reflecting a shift in interbank lending conditions. The six-month rate dropped to 2.954% from 3.086%, and the twelve-month rate fell to 3.177% from 3.284%, both below the previous week's levels. The three-month rate increased to 2.602% from 2.597%. These movements occurred against the backdrop of the European Central Bank raising benchmark rates by 25 basis points in September, a move that had not been seen since September 2023.
Key points
- The six-month Euribor rate decreased to 2.954% from 3.086%, representing a drop of 0.032 percentage points.
- The twelve-month Euribor rate decreased to 3.177% from 3.284%, representing a drop of 0.009 percentage points.
Context
Euribor rates are determined by the average interest rates at which 21 Eurozone banks agree to lend to each other in the interbank market. The findings are significant as they show a divergence between short-term and long-term borrowing costs, potentially indicating a shift in market liquidity or risk perception.
Limitations
