Why did the Rate Cuts Happen?
This move by PNB Housing Finance to cut down the lending rates is in line with the state of the economy and the impact of COVID-19 on it. The real estate sector is one of the worst-hit in this pandemic with constructions being stopped in the middle of the project and people fleeing the large metropolitan cities due to loss of jobs. The interest rates in the banking sector have also been facing a downward momentum following the huge cuts made by the Reserve Bank of India in repo rates. These cuts in the interest rates have made it inevitable for other financial institutions like PNB Housing Finance to cut rates and help the sector revive itself to its former state.
