Punjab National Bank has lowered its Marginal Cost of Funds Based Lending Rate (MCLR) by 5 basis points across key tenors, including overnight, one-year, and three-year.

This adjustment means a slight reduction in borrowing costs for customers.

While the Repo linked Lending Rate and Base Rate are unchanged, this move could impact the bank's net interest income on new and resetting loans.

For investors, it suggests a strategic step to potentially stimulate credit demand and manage asset growth, balancing margins in the current market.
