Résumé
The current 18 percent per year federal credit union loan rate ceiling is scheduled to revert to 15 percent on March 9, 1999, unless otherwise provided by the NCUA Board (Board). A 15 percent ceiling would restrict certain categories of credit and adversely affect the financial condition of a number of federal credit unions. At the same time, prevailing market rates and economic conditions do not justify a rate higher than the current 18 percent ceiling. Accordingly, the Board hereby continues an 18 percent federal credit union loan rate ceiling for the period from March 9, 1999 through September 8, 2000. Loans and lines of credit balances existing prior to May 18, 1987 may continue to bear their contractual rate of interest, not to exceed 21 percent. The Board is prepared to reconsider the 18 percent ceiling at any time should changes in economic conditions warrant.
