In a statement on Thursday (Sept 1), the central bank said the move was taken in response to feedback from some borrowers who are unable to refinance their existing property loans at lower interest rates due to the TDSR framework, which requires financial institutions to ensure loans they approve do not push borrowers’ debt servicing ratio above 60 per cent of their gross monthly income.
