The composite cost-of-borrowing indicator, which combines interest rates on all loans to corporations,
increased in March 2022, driven by the interest rate effect. The interest rate on new loans of over €1
million with a floating rate and an initial rate fixation period of up to three months increased by 18 basis
points to 1.25%. This increase was due to developments in three euro area countries and was mainly
driven by the interest rate effect. The rate on new loans of the same size with an initial rate fixation
period of over three months and up to one year rose by 9 basis points to 1.17%, driven by both the
interest rate and the weight effects. The interest rate on new loans of over €1 million with an initial rate
fixation period of over ten years increased by 24 basis points to 1.66%. This increase was due to
developments in three euro area countries and was driven by the interest rate effect. In the case of

The interest rate on new loans to sole proprietors and unincorporated partnerships with a floating rate
