Variable-rate mortgage · Policy rate set by the European Central Bank
Interest-rate futures currently imply that the typical Variable-rate mortgage in Мальта rises from 3,30% today to 4,05% by 2027-09, about 75 basis points higher. This is not a forecast: it is the mortgage rate consistent with what markets are already pricing for European Central Bank policy.
Данные на 2026-10-20. Derived from interest-rate futures pricing for the policy rate, plus this market's long-run mortgage spread, pass-through factor and transmission lag. Market pricing changes daily and has been wrong before. Not financial advice.
Maltese mortgages are predominantly variable, priced off a bank base rate rather than a market index. Because banks set that base rate themselves and have historically moved it slowly and infrequently, Malta shows some of the slowest and most incomplete ECB pass-through in the euro area.
The rate quoted above is the ECB's MFI new-business rate for loans for house purchase in Мальта, so it reflects what borrowers are actually signing today rather than the stock of existing loans.
The euro area has one policy rate and one futures curve. This table applies the euro-area composite's implied 12-month change to this member's current new-business rate; it does not model a separate national pass-through.
