JNBS links surge in loan demand to mortgage rivalry - Business - Jamaica Gleaner - Friday | April 27, 2012: "he mortgage sector is seeing record loan demand in recent times, arising from the latest cuts in interest rates, says a top lender.

Jamaica National Building Society's (JNBS) general manager Earl Jarrett said his company recorded loan origination of J$800 million in one four-week period, following the lowering of rates to 9.4 per cent in early March.

JNBS is the largest private lender with a J$41-billion portfolio as at December 31, 2011, but it was not the leader in the mortgage wars.

The rivalry was truly ignited in early March when the largest bank in Jamaica, National Commercial Bank, entered the residential market as a low-price leader with a mortgage rate of 9.5 per cent."
