Question:
The Greek government is considering a €150 million loan for a four-year maturity. It will be an amortizing loan, meaning that the interest and principal payments in total, annually, to a constant amount over the maturity of the loan. There is, however, a debate over the appropriate interest rate. The Greek government believes the appropriate rate for its current credit standing in the market today is 2.269 %, but given the Greek government’s historical fiscal issues, several international banks with which it is negotiating are arguing that it is most likely 3.75 %, and at the minimum 3.45 %. What impact do these different interest rates have on the prospective annual payments?
