ICICI Bank hikes benchmark prime lending

ICICI Bank has hiked its benchmark prime lending rate (PLR) by 0.5 percentage points to 11.75 per cent with immediate effect.

The bank may be the first to hike the PLR after the RBI's quarterly review of the monetary policy last month, signalling a hardening interest rate regime.

The bank has also raised home loan rates by 0.5 percentage points. The revised fixed home loan rate is 9.5 per cent, while the floating rate is 7.75-8.5 per cent, with effect from February 13.

According to a bank official, the increase in PLR will lead to a rise in short-term corporate loans rates, which is about 10-12 per cent of the bank's total loan portfolio.

According to analysts, other private sector banks may also hike lending rates soon.

"We have increased the benchmark PLR to align deposit rates with lending rates. Our cost of funds is going up with rising deposit rates and the increase in short-term lending rates to banks by the RBI. Overnight call rates have also been going up. So, going forward, we expect the higher interest rate scenario to continue," the official said.

According to an analyst, banks' margins have been under pressure because of the growing credit offtake and higher deposit rates.

"Most banks would be tempted to raise lending rates. But the state-run banks will look at other players and also wait for signals from the biggest shareholder, the Government." This is the second time this year that ICICI Bank has raised its PLR. In early January, the bank effected a 0.25-percentage point hike.

The hike in the benchmark PLR is not likely to have any major impact because the bank's domestic corporate loan book has been flat in the third quarter. Against this, the bank had an increase of 70 per cent in its retail asset portfolio. "We are more focused on retail assets," the official said.

He also said that it was a logical step and other banks too may follow suit with hike in corporate lending rates. "Not just retail deposits, even bulk deposit rates have seen a rise. So, it is logical that lending rates will also rise."

Mr Ananda Bhoumik, Senior Director with Fitch Ratings India, said: "Though demand is sensitive to interest rates, an immediate effect is yet to be seen. Credit offtake is unlikely to be affected, as demand is backed by increase in investments and consumption."

Benchmark Lending - Average Price : $40

Benchmark lending was something I had never heard of. I did some research, and found it has to do with interest rates and banking, which seems to be a popular theme among high paying keywords. The benchmark rate is set by the Federal Reserve in the United States, and it is the interest rate the banks pay when they borrow money. That's right, your bank borrows money, too! They must have a certain amount of money on reserve, and when they don't they borrow money over a very short term (such as one night).

So why is this term so valuable? Banks and mortgage companies seek out people who might need a loan. Banking makes it's money on loans, it's just a valuable business to be a part of when there are lots of customers. This price seems almost reasonable compared to many of the other keywords.

This page of Benchmark Lending information is intended to show you why it is a high paying keyword, so you might be able to understand what you'll need to know to make a website centered around it. Other sites just give you a list, I am just trying to explain why each keyword is on those lists. I do not claim to be a Benchmark Lending expert, and I encourage you to do your own research. The price for each keyword comes from a variety of high paying keyword lists, and I do not guarantee it is accurate at the time of your visit.

Benchmark Prime Lending Rate.

The Benchmark Prime Lending Rate of Standard Chartered Bank, India is 13% p.a. with effect from April 20th 2007.

Banks lending rates could be in the range of 4% to 18% for various tenors, risk profiles and products. This translates into a spread of 9% below and 5% above the benchmark prime-lending rate.

The interest rate on your floating rate Mortgage loan is linked to the Mortgage Variable Reference Rate (MVRR) and any revision in this rate would impact your interest rate. The MVRR has been increased from 15% to 16% effective June 01, 2007. Margins of a maximum of 500 bps below and 350 bps above this rate will be maintained.

Adjustable Rate Mortgages

3, 5, 7, and 10-Year Adjustable Rate Mortgages

Your principal and interest payments will be fixed for a period of time: 3, 5, 7 or 10 years. During the initial fixed period of the loan, you will generally get a lower monthly payment and rate than with a traditional 30-year fixed mortgage. After the initial fixed period, your loan has an adjustable rate based on the index of your choice.

When to choose this type of loan:

·		If you want monthly payments that are generally lower than for a traditional mortgage
·		If you plan to keep your loan for ten years or less, or if you are uncertain how long you will keep your loan
·		If you plan to use your home equity within seven years
·		If you want the security of a fixed rate but not lose the savings that an ARM offers

Benchmark Repo Lending Facility

This section provides access to:

• an overview of the Benchmark Repo Lending Facility,
  
• results of the Benchmark Repo Lending Facility Auction, and
  
• the Benchmark Repo Lending Facility tool.

The Benchmark Repo Lending Facility Overview section provides access to an outline of Fannie Mae's Benchmark Repo Lending Facility. The Benchmark Repo Lending Facility's goal is to enhance liquidity and trading activity in our Benchmark Securities in the cash, overnight, and term repo markets.
Fannie Mae uses the Benchmark Repo Lending Facility Tool to lend out its Benchmark Securities.
Given the recent Federal Reserve action and anticipated future federal funds increases, effective February 1, 2005, Fannie Mae will be changing its Benchmark Repo Facility lending rate from GC-75 to GC-150bps. As for near term guidance, it is likely that Fannie Mae will be raising its lending rate along with the Fed to maintain its goal of being the lender of last resort in the financing market for the repo eligible Benchmark non-callable and callable securities.
