The article explains how the rise in the Sibor rate affected mortgage loan costs in Saudi Arabia. For instance, the monthly installment for a 500,000 Riyal loan increased from approximately 1,838 Riyals in mid-2021 to a peak of 3,316 Riyals at the end of 2023, representing an 80.4% increase.

The study shows that the change in the Sibor rate led to a total increase of about 139,000 Riyals in loan payments from the peak, highlighting clear fluctuations in interest rate trends and their impact on mortgage financing costs.
