Cyprus outpaced Eurozone in housing loan costs in October

In October, Cyprus experienced a significant increase in housing loan costs, surpassing the Eurozone average. According to data from the Central Bank of Cyprus, the interest rate for housing loans in Cyprus rose to 5.12%, compared to the Eurozone's average of 4.01%.
