Effective 1 August 2022, the Standardised Base Rate (SBR) will replace the Islamic Base Rate (IBR) as the main reference rate for new retail floating rate financing for individual customer.
The objectives:
- Facilitate effective transmission of monetary policy decisions
- Promote a transparent reference rate that enables meaningful comparison of financing products across FSPs to allow consumers to make informed decisions
- Reinforce sound and efficient practices in the pricing of floating-rate retail financing facilities by FSPs.
Islamic Base Rate is made up of 2 parts, our benchmark Islamic cost of funds (ICOF) and the Statutory Reserve Requirement (SRR) cost imposed by Bank Negara Malaysia. Our benchmark COF now reflects the cost of raising new funds in prevailing market funding conditions based on the 3-month KLIBOR as well as customer deposit rates.
Standardised Base Rate is a reference rate that is linked solely to the Overnight Policy Rate (OPR), as determined by the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) of Bank Negara Malaysia
