Increased interest rate on loans to corporations

In the second quarter of 2011 the interest rate on loans from financial institutions to non-financial corporations increased contrary to a minor decrease in the interest rate on loans to households. The total interest rate margin in banks remained stable in the same period.

Interest rate margin. Households and non-financial private corporations. Q2 2006-Q2 2011

Interest rates on loans and deposits, key policy rate and NIBOR. Q2 2008-Q2 2011

The average interest rate on loans from banks increased by 0.06 percentage points to 4.67 per cent, while the interest rate on deposits increased by 0.07 percentage points to 2.32 per cent in the 2nd quarter of 2011. Hence, the interest margin decreased by 1 basis point to 2.35 percentage points.

The interest margin in banks to non-financial corporations decreased from 2.44 to 2.46 percentage points in the 2nd quarter of 2011. In the same period the interest margin in banks to households increased from 2.38 to 2.39 percentage points. From the 2nd quarter 2006 to the 3rd quarter 2008 the interest margin in banks to households was considerably higher than the margin to non-financial corporations. After this period (4th quarter 2008-2nd quarter 2011) the interest margin to non-financial corporations has, on average, been higher than to households.

Banks. Interest rates on total loans, deposits and interest rate margin. Q2 2004-Q2 2011

The key policy rate was increased from 2 to 2.25 per cent in May this year. The effect of this increase on interest rates on loans from the Norwegian financial corporations is expected to be higher in the 3rd quarter 2011 than in the 2nd quarter 2011. One of the reasons is that financial corporations have to inform debtors six weeks in advance of interest rate increases on loans with floating interest rates. However, there could be some effect in the 2nd quarter since the financial corporations have the possibility to change the interest rates on new business.

The interest rate on “total loans from financial corporations” (banks, mortgage companies, life insurance companies and state lending institutions) increased by 0.04 percentage points in the 2nd quarter of 2011. The interest rate on loans to households decreased by 0.02 percentage points, while the interest rate on loans to non-financial private corporations increased by 0.16 percentage points. The interest rate on deposits from households decreased by 0.02 percentage points, while the interest rate on deposits from non-financial private corporations increased by 0.18 percentage points in the same period. The interest rate on deposits from non-financial private corporations is at its highest level since the 1st quarter of 2009.

Decreased lending margin

The 3 month effective NIBOR was 2.99 per cent at the end of the 2nd quarter of 2011.This is the highest level for NIBOR since the 1st quarter of 2009. The lending margin decreased from 1.88 to 1.68 percentage points from the 1st to the 2nd quarter 2011. The interest margin on deposits increased from 0.48 to 0.67 percentage points in the same period.
