housing credits Explanation: This HABITAÇÃO is a general word for housing, not necessarily mortgage. Moreover, this credit is granted to an invidual not to a company. It serves for buying or building the individual's own home. Thus "Interest rates have since a direct and heavy effect on consumer and housing credits" should be the best translation. |
