BLR Standard Chartered

Can you tell me about the interest rate charged upon BLR (Base Lending Rate) offered by Standard Chartered, Malaysia?

[pawan]

The BR (Base Rate) Standard Chartered, Malaysia offer on a product is made up of two parts, benchmark cost of funds (COF) and the Statutory Reserve Requirement (SRR) cost imposed by Bank Negara Malaysia. Its benchmark COF is the marginal cost of raising funds for the mortgage loans.

BR can rise or fall due to changes in the benchmark COF and changes in the SRR.
Changes in the benchmark COF could occur due to changes in the Overnight Policy Rate (OPR) as decided by the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) of Bank Negara Malaysia.

In addition, as the benchmark COF is the marginal cost of raising funds, it will change in line with fluctuation in the market funding condition. SRR cost will change in line with changes in the SRR rate as decided by MPC of Bank Negara Malaysia.

Base Rate = 3.52%
Base Lending Rate = 6.70% p.a.
