Euribor's 12-month rollercoaster leaves mortgage holders scrambling for savings
The 12-month Euribor rate has seen notable shifts over the past year, impacting variable-rate mortgage holders across Europe. While the rate fluctuated between 2.02% and 2.93%, recent trends suggest a slight decline from its earlier peaks. A new podcast now offers guidance on how borrowers can navigate these changes and cut costs. Over the last 12 months, the Euribor rate moved from a range of 2.31%–2.38% in March 2025 to roughly 2.23%–2.86% by March 2026. It peaked at 2.93% during the year but also dropped as low as 2.02%. Key recorded values include 2.245% on 2 January 2026, 2.218% on 2 February 2026, and 2.86% on 27 March 2026. These fluctuations have directly affected monthly payments for those with variable-rate mortgages.
The podcast highlights practical steps to reduce expenses, such as switching to a fixed or mixed-rate mortgage under the right conditions. It also warns against common financial mistakes that could lead to unnecessary costs. By sharing real-life examples and specific figures, the programme aims to provide clear, actionable advice.
