The European Central Bank is expected to announce an interest rate cut of 0.25% at its meeting today.
It would bring the rate to an historic low of 0.5% and would be a boost to struggling homeowners.
The cut would reduce the monthly repayments on every €100,000 owed on a tracker mortgage by €15.
The bank is also expected to unveil new measures to encourage banks to lend in the SME sector.
