3. What are the approximate limits on interest rates?
At present, each bank has its own lending programs: business credits, retail credits, mortgage credits, etc., and establishes minimum and maximum rates for respective credit products.
Approximate interest rates in local banks are as follows:
- Corporate credits – from 14% to 26% per annum;
- Small business credits – from 16 to 23% per annum;
- Mortgage credits - from 16% to 20% per annum;
- Retail credits – from 17% to 28% per annum.
Interest rates vary depending on bank’s policy, financial records of the borrower, currency in which credit is issued, borrower’s credit score and security.
