Understanding Spread Bancário

This video explains the concept of spread bancário, which is the difference between the interest rates banks charge on loans and the rates they pay to investors. Using a supermarket analogy, it illustrates how banks need to charge higher interest rates to cover administrative costs, taxes, and defaults, while also generating profit. The video provides an example of spread calculation and discusses how the central bank estimates average spreads across banks. It concludes with a preview of future topics in the series, including factors influencing bank interest rates and the importance of the Total Effective Cost (CET) for borrowers.
