  Bulgaria interest on home purchase credits reaches 9.18%


Long-term home purchase credits saw interest rates go up by some 3% to 9.18% in July, central bank data shows.
Bankers commented that the rates will continue to trend upward over the near run as the softer terms under which a large number of loans were disbursed expire.
In an attempt to attract clients most banks offer interest of 5.76-6.5% for the first 12 months of the credit�s life, a rate that may reach up to 10% for the remainder.
However, the central bank said a sharp spike of more than 0.30% in the interest rates is unlikely as the credit/deposit interest spread is still wide, leaving the banks room to increase the interest on deposits instead. Neither does the eurozone interest outlook support fears of a hike in Bulgaria.
According to central bank data, mortgage loans added up to 1.6 bln levs by end-July, up a hefty 140% year-on-year. The series of measures to cool credit growth can already be seen on real estate prices which have dropped by 7% from the first quarter, said the bank.
