[#Euribor]() [#ECB]() #ChristineLagarde # Euribor rises to 2.95% in August 2026 31 August 2026 at 13:22 > The Euribor monthly average rose to 2.95% in August, increasing mortgage costs for homeowners as the rate nears the 3% threshold. The **Euribor** monthly average for August 2026 closed at 2.95%, marking the second consecutive monthly increase. During this period, the daily rate exceeded the 3% threshold for the first time in nearly two years, reflecting a shift in the current lending market. This rise follows a Eurozone inflation rate of 2.9% in July 2026, which remains above the **European Central Bank**'s 2% medium-term target. Headed by **Christine Lagarde**, the ECB has scheduled its next meeting for 10 December 2026 to address these economic trends. Homeowners with a 150,000 euro mortgage and one-point spread face an 810 euro annual increase. Those with 300,000 euro loans will see monthly payments rise by 135 euros, as noted by experts from HelpMyCash, Roams, and Fotocasa regarding the impact on borrowers. ## Related news [#Euribor]() #Mortgages [#ECB]() #EurozoneEconomy #InterestRates 29 October 2026 at 14:30 ## [Euribor expected to drop to 3.2% in October 2026]() > The primary mortgage indicator falls as the ECB balances high inflation and oil prices ahead of a potential December interest rate hike.
