Aug 20, 2020 (LBO) – Considering bank lending rates of certain financial products which continue to remain high, the Central Bank has decided to revise downward the caps on interest rates on credit cards to 18 percent per annum, on pre-arranged temporary overdrafts to 16 percent per annum and on pawning facilities to 10 percent per annum.
The Monetary Board of the Central Bank was of the view that penal interest rates need to be capped at 2 percentage points over the regular interest rates charged on the relevant credit facility.
