As a consumer, when sign up for a loan agreement, it fixed 1 thing, which is the X% BLR -/+X% or BR +X%

Upon the time of loan offer, the effective landing rate look the same.

1. About impact on BLR
Before BR take effective
BNM decide the BLR, your agreement fixed X%
After BR take effective, does BNM still decide BLR or bank can decide base on BR calculation?

e.g. BLR 6.85 - 2.4%, so is BLR still same in future for all bank or each have different BLR?

The obvious of this question is does it matters which bank i get my loan from as long as the offered -2.4% is the best rate i get?

2. For BR rate
BR rate is base on banks performance, but you loan agreement only fixed on the margin %.
If i got an offer from HSBC 3.9+0.65%, MBB 3.2+1.3%
In a long run, if HSBC able to increase cost effective become 3.5+0.65% (since 0.65% is fixed)
and if MBB not doing well, example it become 3.5+1.3%?

At this point of time, they might able to offer new loan rate e.g. both also 3.5+1%

But for those who already signed the agreement, isn't their fate is tied to the performance of the bank for the rest of the tenure?

Bnm don't decide Blr as you can see every bank diff Blr.
