Interest rates show no signs of relief and continue to rise

Juros não dão sinal de alívio e continuam a subir

















The threats were justified. The European Central Bank has reacted to market forecasts and has consistently raised interest rates by 0.5%. But the idea is not to stop there. And based on a significant upward revision of the inflation forecast, her organization Christine Lagarde says she “expects further increases”, noting that “she believes that interest rates will still have to increase significantly at a constant rate in order to reach levels which are restrictive enough to ensure a timely return of inflation to the 2% target over the medium term.”

A guarantee that has already been put forward by analysts contacted by our newspaper.

Ricardo Evangelista, an analyst at ActivTrades, believes that the central bank should continue to raise interest rates in 2023 until they reach 3%: “This means that after 0.5% we will have another percentage point over the next year.” However, he believes that next year the rate of interest rate growth should slow down: “We will probably have four increases of 0.25%. But this is a scenario that is not guaranteed and may need to be adjusted if inflation falls faster than expected or if it remains high despite monetary tightening.”

Paulo Rosa, an economist at Banco Carregosa, expects a 50-point increase of the same amount at the first meeting of 2023 on February 2, but sees a slowdown to 25 basis points on March 16, “setting the ECB’s deposit rate at the time at 2.75% , which is very close to the currently expected terminal rate, with the market expecting the same terminal rate for the eurozone interest rate to be around 2.8%. That is, the ECB’s current reference interest rate is 1.5%. A 50 basis point increase on December 15 would raise that rate to 2%. A rise of more than 50 points on Feb. 2 will raise the rate to 2.5%, culminating in 2.75% on March 16 for a 25 point increase.”

Eduardo Silva of XTB Portugal also believes that “monetary tightening will have to continue to cool consumption and therefore inflation”, and therefore says that “in the medium term we will continue to see growth more or less aggressive depending on the evolution inflation.”

What to expect now?

For a property valued at 125,000 euros payable over 33 years, if in January the installment was set at 362.71 euros (at an average interest rate of 0.81%), then in October it had already risen to 488 euros (average interest rate of 2 .86). %) and will now rise to 540.58 euros, combining the interest rate with a projected increase of 0.5%. That is an increase of 52.53 euros per month, but 213.87 euros more than at the beginning of the year, according to the simulations carried out by Comparajá.pt.

For property worth 186 thousand euros, payable for the same period (33 years), if in January 535.42 euros were paid, then in October the contribution increased to 726.23 euros. With this increase in interest, you will pay an installment of 804.38 euros in December. That is a monthly increase of 78.15 euros and an increase of 268.96 euros compared to January.

The scenario is repeated for a house worth 257 thousand euros, also payable up to 33 years. The payment amount, which was 791.65 euros in January, rose to 1,073.72 euros in October this year. If this 075% increase occurs, you will pay a monthly fee of 1189.27 euros in December. After all, 115.55 euros more per month and 397.62 euros more than at the beginning of the year.

According to João Melo, Director of the Mortgage Loan Platform, “2022 has undoubtedly been marked by an exponential and constant increase in mortgage interest rates, given that we are seeing the most dramatic increase in the history of banking. Although interest rates were already at higher rates, like in 2008 or 2012, the truth is that rates have fluctuated at a level they have never experienced before,” he refers to our newspaper.

He adds: “The main effects of this phenomenon have already been seen and, combined with the fact that house prices have not fallen, the total amount provided by banks associated with home loans has been decreasing month by month, and in October it was up to one of worst record in the last two years.

The first Dacia hybrid.  "The cheapest hybrid family on the market"

BUT Dacia revealed this Monday that the hybrid engine has been available since March on the Jogger, the Romanian brand’s model known to be available with a seven-seat variant.

The Jogger Hybrid 140, Dacia’s first hybrid, will hit dealerships in March, but customers can expect and order it as early as January.

The price has been revealed by Dacia and since it’s only available in the seven-seater SL Extreme, it starts at €28,800. The brand claims it is “the most affordable hybrid family car on the market.”

Available in six existing colors to celebrate the launch of this hybrid, there will be a slate gray version, as you can see in the images above.

Equipped with a 1.6 liter four-cylinder petrol engine with 90 hp, the Jogger is also powered by two electric motors (a 50 hp engine and a high-voltage starter-generator). The total power is 140 horsepower. The electric transmission is automatic, four-speed, connected to an internal combustion engine, and two speeds are connected to an electric motor. This combined technology was possible, according to Dacia, only due to the lack of clutch.
