Bank of Valletta and APS Bank have adjusted their lending rates as a result of the decision of the European Central Bank to decrease by 50 basis points to two per cent the interest rate on the main refinancing operations of the eurosystem.

BoV has reduced its interest rates to all borrowing customers by 50 basis points. This reduces the lending base rate to 2.45 per cent, while the rate extended to the manufacturing industry now stands at 2.35 per cent. The bank's mortgage base rate has also been reduced to a competitive 2.15 per cent.

Interest rates on credit accounts are also being revised downwards. However the named savings rate has only been reduced by 35 basis points.
