Festkreditfazilität

Festkreditfazilität refers to a credit facility that is structured with a fixed interest rate and a predetermined maturity date. This means that the borrower knows precisely how much interest they will pay over the life of the loan and when the loan will be fully repaid. These facilities are typically used for specific investment projects or to finance long-term assets, where the certainty of costs is important for planning. The fixed interest rate protects the borrower from potential increases in market interest rates. Conversely, if market rates fall, the borrower will not benefit from lower borrowing costs. Festkreditfazilitäten can be offered by banks or other financial institutions and are often used by corporations and governments. They are a common tool in corporate finance for managing financial risk and ensuring predictable cash flows. The terms and conditions, including the interest rate, repayment schedule, and any collateral requirements, are clearly defined in the loan agreement.
