We've found a question about interest rates in our e-mail. And we immediately thought that we would include them in the "Finance in a nutshell" series. 😄
The question is: what is an effective interest rate (effektiv rente) ❓
💬 In Norway, effektiv rente, this is actually the real interest rate. It shows the entire loan amount and its cost, i.e. commission and other bank fees. If the loan amount is high and long-term, the effective interest rate will be lower.
💬 In addition to the effektiv rente, there is also the nominal rente (nominal interest rate), i.e. the amount of the loan itself, without additional costs.
