CBK giving zero direction in this matter.

How can a 1 year loan and a 7 year loan both cost 14.5%?

Also, what is the formula to calculate CBR or is it an arbitrary rate?

The 14.5 percent is per annum.. Nothing confused about CBK on the matter


So yield curve is flat regardless of tenor?

Yes. It is, though on reducing balance. Plus the CBR is subject to fluctuations. So in year 1 one may pay 14.5 but in year 2 the same could change to 23 percent. It's now in the hands of government


How is CBR calculated?

Policy issue. Fixed by CBK not calculated.

Yes. It is, though on reducing balance. Ideally longer tenors should have higher rates but this shall be where banks will punish consumers by maxing all product lines at the very top. Plus the CBR is subject to fluctuations. So in year 1 one may pay 14.5 but in year 2 the same could change to 23 percent. It's now in the hands of government

How fair is it for a TSC worker to pay the same rate as a tenderpreneur. Banks to embrace the spirit of the law would need to charge lows of 12.5 percent to lower risk segments. Anything other than that shall be punishment of consumers

Lets not confuse the rate ceiling with the rate, banks should even lend at the CBR rate of 10.5% if your credit rating is as good as GOK, or less if better than GOK

In fact if the banks so wish, they can price the 1 year loan at 14.5% and the 7 year loan at 111%...who cares if they want some difference?
