Rary
The effective costs to business firms of borrowing at the commercial bank
prime rate depends on whether interest rates are fixed for the maturity of the loans
or change when the prime rate changes while loans are outstanding. Surveys of the
terms on business loans at commercial banks conducted in February and May of this
year indicate that about half of the short-term business loans (average maturity of
approximately three months) were at fixed interest rates, and the remaining loans
were at floating rates.
The table below indicates the difference between the average prime rate
each week and the average prime rate in the following 13 weeks (91 days). During
January and February and the first week of March of this year, borrowing at a fixed
rate would have been less expensive, because of subsequent increases in the prime
rate. Beginning in March, however, the fixed rate became higher than the floating
rate, with the differential rising to above 5 percentage points. Changes that have
occurred this year in the relation between the prevailing prime rate and the average
prime rate in subsequent weeks indicate how the decision on whether loans are made
at a fixed or floating prime interest rate can affect the effective costs of borrowing
and the revenue of banks.
