Euribor interest rate fluctuations in Spain and EU

Overview

The upward trend in Euribor rates continued into September 2026, driven by geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and rising inflation in Spain. Following a decision by the European Central Bank (ECB) to raise key interest rates by 25 basis points, Euribor rates reached new highs.

By September 10, the six-month Euribor rate rose to approximately 2.806%–2.820%, its highest level since November 2024. The twelve-month rate peaked between 3.138% and 3.160%, marking its highest point since August 2024, while the three-month rate settled around 2.643%–2.647%.

These increases pose a significant burden for mortgage holders, particularly in Portugal. According to July data from the Bank of Portugal, the six-month rate accounts for 39.87% of the stock of variable-rate loans for permanent residential housing, while the twelve-month and three-month rates represent 31.26% and 24.40%, respectively. Consequently, some monthly mortgage payments are expected to increase by as much as 100 euros in October.
