European Commission rails against plan to cap interest rates
The much-promised law that will give the Central Bank the power to cap mortgage interest rates will harm financial stability and bank competition, the European Commission has said.
Objections to the mortgage rate cap law have already come from the European Central Bank, despite the fact that such caps are common across Europe, and the International Monetary Fund.
