THE country's largest lender, State Bank, has slashed the interest rate on savings bank deposits by a hefty 25-50 bps to 2.5% from the existing 2.7%, the lowest on record.

The rate reduction for the deposits is a disincentive for small savers. The decision comes within days of the bank passing on the 50 bps repo rate cut by the central bank to borrowers, effective June 15.
