    Hi Folks

    I'm looking for a small personal loan 5-6k. With Brexit looming, do we think it's a good idea to hang on and see what happens ? I reckon 2 countries could go into a recession so interest rates would be affected.. I'm no economist though.

    What do you think?

    If you need the loan just get it, for a 6k loan there’s no point in fussing about Brexit, even if the interest did come down it’s going to be feck all. Shop around for the cheapest interest.

    Irish interest rates are indirectly set by the ECB. And the economic situation in Ireland has little or no effect on interest rates in the Euro zone because our economy is such a small part of the overall area.

    When our economy was overheating in the 2000s with rampant property speculation, the ECB kept interest rates low to help the German economy grow. In the process, they let the Irish banks build a bonfire of debt. If we had a Brexit recession tomorrow, they couldn't care less.
