The negative/positive sensitivity to a rise/fall in interest rates in the euro zone is temporary and limited to the first quarters, as a result of liabilities gaining value quicker than assets (basically the mortgage portfolio).

However, the economic impact of this rise in interest rates on net interest income is positive, as once the mortgage portfolio is revalued, and given the weight of customer deposits, the customer spread increases.
