Enigma OTP

"Cum se face ca OTP Bank si Raiffeisen Bank au ajuns sa aiba o dobanda la CHF mai mare decat in lei? Ramane o enigma." Este rezultatul aplicarii defectuoase a OUG50/2010, cand marja asa-zis fixa s-a obtinut din dobanda asa-zis variabila de pana in acel moment, scazandu-se indicele LIBOR din data actului aditional, indice aflat la o valoare deja scazuta, de circa 0,22%. Orice negociere cu banca a fost imposibila.

Neutral interest rate in Romania

The neutral nominal rate in Romania has been falling since the start of inflation targeting in 2005. The Taylor Rule clearly shows that interest rates peaked in 2022 and have been on a clear downward path ever since.Furthermore, the model estimates a long-term neutral nominal rate of around 3.9%, which is the equivalent of approx. 1.4% real.Using a more sophisticated model (i.e. New York FED’S HLW model), the real neutral interest rate in Romania is estimated currently at around 1.5% (1.7% 2023 average) and the historical mean at 1.2%.This implies a neutral nominal rate between 4.00% and 4.50%. In the past decade, the NBR real effective rate was below the neutral rate and only over the past year climbed above the neutral mark.Source: Erste Bank
