National bank interest rate is at 1.75%
Inflation at a whooping 8-10% thx to the electrical energy and natural gas prices soaring.
For housing, at private banks the intrest rate is between 6-8% per year.
How about Poland.
Interest rates are at 1.75% while the inflation for November was 7.8%. Obviously the "real" inflation is much higher. Speaking of mortgages, in Poland it is the interest rate + bank's margin. I checked now and the margin is around 2% for most banks (so 3.75% in total).
The interest rates have been increased already two times recently and it's not the end. The inflation is soaring and people are getting more and more upset with the raising prices. We are yet to be hit with the new energy prices in 2022 which will only make the inflation grow further (at a much faster rate).
The inflation is caused by the social programs sponsored by the government and all the money that was given to the business for not working during pandemic. Our national debt has grown exceptionally since March 2020.
