Increase is measured based on the actual repayment made in Jun-22 and the contractual mortgage rates at a cash rate of 3.1% assuming rates changed by an equivalent amount. Analysis assumes an IO mortgage remains an IO mortgage. 4 Excludes equity/line of credit products as there are no scheduled principal payments. 5 Analysis based on minimum repayments.
