Gerard Trust Bank Hikes Prime Lending Rate
Gerard Trust Bank, the third largest in the region, raised its prime lending rate from 7 1/4 to 7 2 percent Thursday. The move aims to curb inflation by tightening credit, making loans pricier for businesses and likely tempering expansion. Government guidelines may cushion immediate impacts on consumers and smaller banks. This sixth increase this year lifts the rate to its highest level in nearly three years and is expected to trigger further industry-wide hikes for top borrowers.
