Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The reference interest rate for credit operations in Mozambique will remain at 18.6 percent in March, for the sixth consecutive month, the Mozambican Association of Banks (AMB) announced on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The rate calculated by AMB and the Bank of Mozambique is based on a single index of 13.3 percent (calculated by the central bank) that remains unchanged and a cost premium that also remains at 5.3 percent (set by AMB).<\/p>\n

The 18.6% \u2018prime rate\u2019 was fixed on October 1, after a decrease of 30 basis points in relation to September.<\/p>\n

Its creation was agreed between the central bank and the AMB in June 2017 to eliminate the proliferation of reference rates on the cost of money.<\/p>\n

At the time, it was launched at 27.75 per cent and has fallen 915 basis points since then.<\/p>\n

The aim is for all credit operations to be based on a single rate, \u201cplus a margin (spread), which will be added to or subtracted from the \u2018prime rate\u2019 upon risk analysis\u201d of each contract, the promoters explain.<\/p>\n
