Bank of Cyprus Cuts Lending Rates Benefiting 12,000 Clients Amid ECB Easing

Responding to European Central Bank Easing

The Bank of Cyprus has announced a decisive reduction in its reference interest rate for loans indexed to the European Central Bank’s (ECB) base rate. With the rate dropping from 2.40% to 2.15% effective June 11, 2025, the bank directly responds to the ECB’s recent monetary easing, reflecting a broader strategy to support both households and businesses.

Immediate Benefits for Borrowers

An estimated 12,000 borrowers will see a tangible reduction in their monthly loan installments, marking a 0.25 percentage point cut that reinforces the bank’s commitment to easing client burdens. Furthermore, the cumulative rate reduction since June 2024—now totaling 2.35 percentage points, from 4.50% down to 2.15%—has significantly reshaped the lending landscape.

Broader Impact Across Loan Benchmarks

The bank also noted that rates for another 15,800 clients, with loans tied to the Euribor benchmark, have been declining. With Euribor slipping from a peak of 4.14% in October 2023 to its current level of 2.05%, the favorable shift is poised to stimulate further economic support.

Supporting a Fragile Economy

In a statement, the Bank of Cyprus emphasized its role in bolstering the country’s real economy. By offering competitively priced financial products and attractive financing terms, the bank aims to sustain economic momentum amid global uncertainties and trade tensions. These strategic cuts are well-timed as the ECB, with inflation currently aligned to its 2% target, transitions from aggressive action to a more cautious stance.

Looking Ahead: Cautious Tailoring of Future Policies

The ECB’s measured approach underscores a commitment to data-driven policy adjustments. With the recent cut being the eighth since June 2024, market participants expect a pause in rate reductions in July, facilitating an evaluation of preceding measures. While another reduction later in 2025 remains plausible, future decisions will be contingent on both incoming economic indicators and global trade dynamics.
