Answer:

This depends on the type of interest charged and the length of the loan. Generally speaking, floating loans should adjust semi-automatically to changes in interest rates. So any change affects them directly.

On the other hand, fixed rate loans, most mortgages and installment loans generally carry a fixed interest rate that doesn't depend on the market interest rate. Some mortgages (around 33% of total) are variable rate mortgages that are affected by changes in the market interest rate, but they adjust on a yearly basis.
