Belgian 25-year mortgage rates hit 14-year high at 4.58%

Average fixed 25-year mortgage rates in Belgium have risen to 4.58%, the highest in about 14 years, according to John Romain of Immotheker Finotheker. The development reflects broader upward pressure on long-term rates, likely tied to inflation and central bank policy. This may dampen housing demand and weigh on consumer sentiment, but the direct market impact is limited to the Belgian mortgage sector.
