IRCC stood at 5.9% in April-June.
The three-month ROBOR index, used in calculating the variable interests on loans in lei taken before May 2019, is close to the IRCC at 6.01%, after having made it so far up as 8% at some point.
With the significant rise in interests over the last two years, Romanians with loans tied to ROBOR found themselves having to pay significantly higher instalments, which led them towards the IRCC.
