About the indicator

The lending interest rate adjusted for inflation by the GDP deflator. It shows the real cost of borrowed funds for the economy. Negative values mean that inflation erodes debt faster than interest accrues on it — a situation that favors borrowers and works against lenders and depositors.

Important: There are no aggregates for country groups: a weight by the volume of credit is needed, and we do not have it. The rate is already net of inflation, so negative values are normal — they mean borrowing costs less than inflation erodes.
