The reference rate of Standardised Base Rate (SBR) is the Overnight Policy Rate (OPR). The SBR is linked solely to the Overnight Policy Rate (OPR), as determined by the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) of Bank Negara Malaysia.
BR and BLR/BFR will continue to be applied to the existing retail loans/financing facilities which were priced against BR and BLR/BFR respectively.
For the purpose of illustration and subject to change from time to time, the effective interest/profit rate for a 30-year loan/financing of RM350,000 with no lock-in period is 3.75% p.a. (i.e. SBR + 1.50%).
