Typically, Mr. Verbraeken is saying 1.25% above the ECB rate. Some of them today are paying 4.25%, a difference of 3% on their mortgage, nine years later. If they have a mortgage of €200,000 in simple interest terms, not annuity but simple interest, that is €6,000 a year of a difference in the interest. The impact of that over a period of up to nine years on those people is savage.
