Banks double business loan interest rates over past year

The 3.84 per cent average rate that applied to new Irish home loans in May was up from 2.72 per cent a year earlier and slightly ahead of the latest euro-zone average rate of 3.7 per cent. It was up 21 basis points from the average of 3.63 per cent in April.
