How is the recent central bank policy shift affecting my small business loan?

I’m trying to understand how the recent shift in central bank policy is actually affecting my small business loan. The quoted interest rate has jumped, but the bank’s explanation about the transmission mechanism felt vague.

Our loan rate jumped about 1.2 percentage points last quarter. The banker said it’s market driven, but they didn’t show me the math or how it ties to policy moves.

I asked how the central bank shift actually affects our pricing, and the reply was something about funding costs and margins, with no clear timeline or numbers.

We tried to lock in a fixed rate, but the offer came with fees and a higher appraisal hurdle. We didn’t bite and decided to wait and review in a few weeks.

Sometimes it feels like the bigger stress isn’t just the rate, but cash flow timing and supplier terms. Is the real problem that we’re missing a clearer link to what the policy move means for us?
