SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
Interest Rates
The Small Business Administration publishes an interest rate called
the optional ``peg'' rate (13 CFR 120.214(c)) on a quarterly basis.
This rate is a weighted average cost of money to the government for
maturities similar to the average SBA direct loan. This rate may be
used as a base rate for guaranteed fluctuating interest rate SBA loans.
This rate will be 6\3/4\ percent for the July-September quarter of FY
96.
Pursuant to 13 CFR 120.932, the maximum legal interest rate for a
commercial loan which funds any portion of the cost of a project (see
13 CFR 120.801(c)(2)) shall be the greater of 6% over the New York
prime rate or the limitation established by the constitution or laws of
a given State. The initial rate for a fixed rate loan shall be the
legal rate for the term or the loan.
John R. Cox,
Associate Administrator for Financial Assistance.
