lets hope so.. if not 4 folds from what i calculated:
http://www.thesundaily.my/news/988884An analyst with a stock broking house told SunBiz that generally, if the OPR is increased, banks will pass on the cost in the form of a higher base lending rate (BLR) to consumers.
"In the past, banks have also passed on the basis points (increase) or in a similar quantum. If it's a hike of 25bps, banks will raise about 20bps to 30bps," said the analyst.
For example, if there is a 25bps increase in OPR, and assuming that banks follow suit and change their BLR by a similar quantum, consumers will see the BLR increase by 25bps (0.25%) from 6.6% to 6.85%. If there is a 50bps hike, one can generally expect that BLR will increase from 6.6% to 7.1%.According to financial comparison portal iMoney.my, a mere 0.5% increase in
BLR will result in a 14% increase in total interest paid over the loan tenure if one currently has a floating rate home loan. This is based on the example of a RM500,000 home loan of 30 years. (see table)
The BLR is at
6.6% currently but the prevailing interest rate charged by most banks is 4.2% to 4.9%. In view of this, BNM is proposing a new reference rate framework, which will be determined by the respective bank's funding costs that reflect its specific funding structure and strategy and the statutory reserve requirement.
we confirm going to hit 5% for some borrowers.. that means 100k, per year, 5%=5k, monthly=416.667
500k X 5% X 30 years= 750k
