Briefings

A 2026 article reports that in 2023 contracts with fixed rates were renegotiated in 40% of cases, with 40% of those renegotiations resulting in a new fixed rate for at least two years. This indicates a significant portion of fixed-rate contracts were extended rather than terminated. The study covers contracts from 2023, but the specific timeframe of the 2026 report is not explicitly defined beyond the publication date.

Key points

• In 2023, 40% of contracts with fixed rates were renegotiated.
• Of those renegotiations, 40% resulted in a new fixed rate being set for at least two years.

Context

This finding highlights a high rate of contract extension for fixed-rate agreements in 2023, suggesting market stability or renegotiation preferences during that period.

Limitations

The evidence covers only contracts from 2023, and the specific timeframe of the 2026 report is not explicitly defined beyond the publication date.
