Finance (general) / interest rates
Portuguese term or phrase: tenho em conta os valores [...] está muito acima destes valores
This is part of a text relating to housing in an African country; this is a footnote discussing credit.

Is this basically saying, that if interest rates are taken into account then the figure is actually much higher?

sorry if this is a very basic question - finance is not my strong point!

"Estima-se que a percentagem do crédito bancário em relação ao PIB não ultrapassa os 0,5%. Este número é capaz de estar desactualizado, mas, tenho em conta os valores das taxas de juro, e está muito acima destes valores."

thanks in advance
