    Hi Jesper, I am afraid I do not have the archived Base Lending Rate of all the banks in Malaysia. You might need to check with the banks for that. Cheers!

    I am afraid I only have the latest rates. I believe the historical rates might be obtainable from Bank Negara's archive.

    The following link will show you the Conventional Interbank Rates (CIR), in which our Fixed Deposit Rate and Base Lending Rates are derived from.

    BNM Statistics: http://www.bnm.gov.my/index.php?ch=12&pg;=622

    It can be used as a rough guideline on how the BLR would have been affected by the CIR.

    Hi thr,
    Just curious..do u guys think tht the BLR might go up?
    reply
  • yowchuan

    10 months ago

    Hi Seetha, it was supposed to have gone up when Bank Negara was expected to raise the interest rate. However, it seems that Bank Negara has chose to maintain the interest rate at 3.5%, citing the current weakening economy a temporary crisis.

    If the economy is not stagflating and improving, the BLR could really well be maintained at 3.50% throughout the year.

    I think the best indicator right now is to look at the rising inflation.

    Here's another piece of information which can tell you about where our economy is heading: http://www.meshio.com/2008/09/malaysia-economi-...

    I don't think Bank Negara will revise the rate until Q12009, despite the rising inflation.

    Did any bank offer refinance for home loan & willing to pay for the lock-in's penalty for customer?
    reply
  • yowchuan

    4 months ago

    Wong, most of the refinancing scheme that will help you in paying off the lock-in penalty fee would include the paid penalty fee in the refinanced loan amount. Unless you would really make a significant savings from the refinancing scheme, it's inadvisable to just look at the "Lock-in Penalty Fee Waiver" feature.

    It's also helpful to remember that once you refinance, you'll be locked-in for another 3-5 years.
