How Banks Set Interest Rates: The Hidden Mechanics of Lending

In this episode, we explore how banks operate behind the scenes—specifically how they manage the balance between funding costs and lending rates. Discover how banks source their funds through deposits and debt securities, and what drives their funding costs, from the cash rate to broader monetary policy tools. We also unpack the key factors that influence the interest rates banks charge borrowers, including competition and credit risk. If you've ever wondered why loan rates change or how monetary policy affects your mortgage, this episode breaks it down in clear, practical terms.
