Access Bank has issued a public notice notifying their clients that they have increased their base lending rates from 13.00% to 14.63%, effective August 8, 2023. The move is in line with the increase in the Central Bank Rate (CBR) from 9.5% to 10.5% during the last Monetary Policy Committee that was held on June 26, 2023.

Recently, banks such as Equity Bank and NCBA Bank have notified their clients that they have increased their Lending rates. It is expected that other banks will follow the same trend and try to align themselves with the increased CBR rate.

The MPC is set to meet again this month to discuss the effect of the current MPC and decide whether to increase, maintain, or decrease the CBR based on their analysis of the global and domestic economies.
