  1. Figures in these columns show the highest, lowest, and most frequent values for the short-term prime lending rates set by city banks (Mizuho Bank, MUFG Bank, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, Resona Bank, and Saitama Resona Bank). The most frequent value indicates the rate adopted by the largest number of the city banks.
    Since January 23, 1989, these banks have independently set the short-term prime lending rates taking into consideration funding costs and other factors.
  2. "Not applicable" denotes when there is more than one rate.
  3. Figures in this column show the long-term prime lending rate set and released by Mizuho Bank.
  4. Dates in parentheses indicate the effective dates.
  • The data on this page are revised once a month in principle. However, please note that, as the prime lending rates are not always changed every month, neither is a revision necessarily made. For the prime lending rates set by each bank, please refer to their respective websites.
