The six-month ROBOR used in calculating variable interests for mortgage loans in lei, however, dropped to 8.12% on Friday, August 26, from 8.13% on Thursday.
The twelve-month ROBOR index, which represents the interest rate paid on loans in lei attracted by commercial banks from other commercial banks for a twelve-month period, stagnated at 8.26% a year on Friday, like it did the entire week.
The trend of the ROBOR index is impacted by several factors among which the central bank’s monetary policy, the market liquidity, inflation and tax policy.
