Long-term Development

In the long-term view of corporate overnight deposit interest rates, it is noticeable that banks have only partially passed on the interest rate increase since 2022 to businesses. This contrasts with the high-interest period between 2006 and 2008 when overnight deposit interest rates were still at a similar level to the ECB’s key interest rate.
