OLO, swap rates and logistics yields: how to interpret the spread

Market reference date: 21 September 2026.

The Belgian ten-year government rate was approximately 4.10%, the EUR ten-year mid-swap approximately 3.48% to 3.50%, and the Belgian prime logistics yield approximately 4.90% in Q2 2026.

Indicative spreads

  • Prime logistics yield minus Belgian 10-year rate: approximately 80 basis points
  • Prime logistics yield minus EUR 10-year swap: approximately 140 basis points

Interpretation

  • The OLO is a sovereign reference. The swap is commonly relevant to fixing or hedging debt. The property yield represents an unlevered income return. These measures must be assessed alongside credit margins, costs, leases, tenant quality, capex and risk.

CEUSTERS’ perspective

  • Yield spreads are useful but do not replace asset-level underwriting.
