Banks reduce lending rates by 0.25% for MLR, MRR, and MOR following the MPC’s resolution (Current Issue No.3596 Full Ed.)

คะแนนเฉลี่ย
  • In mid-August 2025, several major commercial banks gradually announced a 0.25-percent reduction in lending rates after the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) resolved to cut the policy rate by 0.25 percent to 1.50 percent at its meeting on August 13, 2025.
  • KResearch views that this round of lending rate cuts was transmitted “faster and more fully” than previous rounds. Notably, the 0.25-percent cuts to MLR (Minimum Loan Rate), MRR (Minimum Retail Rate), and MOR (Minimum Overdraft Rate) matched the policy rate reduction size, an uncommon occurrence in recent rate cut cycles.
  • The reduction of all three reference lending rates (MLR, MRR, MOR) by 0.25 percent may help alleviate financial burdens for debtors by approximately THB 5-7 billion, with most of the impact on business loans, housing loans, and secured personal loans such as home-for-cash loans.
