Euribor rates rise again at 6 and 12 months to new highs since November and August 2024

SAPO Notícias14 September 2026 at 10:32

The Euribor recorded rises today across the three terms under analysis, with the six and 12-month rates reaching new highs since November and August 2024, respectively. The three-month rate also advanced.

This rise comes after the European Central Bank raised key interest rates on Thursday, which directly influenced the behavior of reference indices in the European interbank market.

Euribor rates are fundamental for calculating installments on thousands of credit contracts in Portugal and the euro area, so these increases have a direct impact on families and businesses with financing linked to these indices.

The upward movement of rates reflects the ECB's monetary policy decisions given the current economic context, with interbank indices adjusting in response to the new financing conditions in the European market.

Why this matters

Euribor rates are used as reference in the majority of housing loan contracts in Portugal, so this rise implies higher monthly installments for thousands of families with indexed loans. The ECB's rate increase indicates a restrictive monetary policy scenario that directly affects the cost of financing for consumers and businesses.
