EIBOR

The benchmark interest rate that prices variable UAE mortgages.

Financing

EIBOR (Emirates Interbank Offered Rate) is the average rate at which major UAE banks lend to each other, published daily by the UAE Central Bank. Most variable-rate UAE mortgages are priced as 'EIBOR + a fixed bank spread,' so a buyer's monthly payment moves whenever EIBOR resets.

Why It Matters

  • Off-plan buyers rarely need a mortgage during construction — the developer payment plan replaces mortgage drawdown — but EIBOR becomes relevant at handover if a completion mortgage is taken.
  • Non-resident buyers are typically capped at lower loan-to-value ratios than residents, and may face a wider EIBOR spread.
  • EIBOR tracks the US Federal Reserve rate closely because of the AED/USD peg — useful context when comparing financing costs against other currency markets.
