the central bank had to match its US counter part this time By raising its rate the central bank signals the chartered banks and other len ding institutions that it wishes them to charge their borrowers more discouraging credit buying and tightening the amount of money circulating in the marketplace The chartered banks normally follow the central banks example within one or two days This would push their prime lending rate the interest charged to their blue chip corporate borrowers to 1375 per cent Most other interest rates inuding those for consumer loans mortgages and the in terest banks pay their depositors can also be expected to rise Bouey said in news release the 075per cent increase was needed to fight inflation and to keep the dollar from sliding on world currency markets
