Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach
Banking Issues: Discussion
Mr. Eamonn Crowley:
In effect, yes, or possibly over it. It is not just me saying that; there has been some commentary in the press as well that certain customers with trackers should look at moving to fixed rate mortgages.
I do not suggest they should but that is an area. The reference rate, which was zero, is now 1.25% because of the two recent increases. That plus the margin means the opportunity could be that they should go to fixed, but it depends on individual circumstances.
