In a 2 November 2026 interest-rate release, the Bank of Greece put weighted average new deposits at 0.40% and new loans at 4.76% for September, with a 4.36-point new-business spread. Outstanding deposits were 0.39% while outstanding loans rose to 4.92%. The note complements earlier credit/deposit volume coverage with a rates focus. The October release is due on 2 December.

What it means: Relative to earlier coverage of credit and deposit volumes, this release focuses on new-contract and outstanding rates. Greek SMEs still face mid-4% new corporate loan costs as a core funding input. Households saw firmer new time-deposit rates, while floating mortgages and consumer credit remain far above deposit yields. Exporters use the figures for fourth-quarter interest budgets. The publication is statistical and not advice for any financial move; it still informs wage, inventory and supplier-payment planning while borrowing costs stay high versus deposits.
