HFF's interest rate decision is based on the yield at the HFF bond auction held on July 29th in addition to the weighted financing cost of prepayments on HFF bonds. The weighted interest rate for the auction and prepaid HFF bonds is 3.51%. The interest rate premium for operations is 0.45%, the credit risk premium 0.45% and the prepayment risk premium 0.50%. As a result of the auction and the change in premium, the HFF has decided to leave interest rates on housing loans including a prepayment clause unchanged at 4.40% and 4.90% on loans excluding such a clause. This decision takes effect today, August 2nd 2011. |
