2. When a loan is secured by collateral, the risk of default by the borrower decreases and hence the risk premium charged may be lower, reducing the rate of borrowing.
3. The shorter the tenor of the loan, the lower the risk, since the ability of the borrower to repay the loan is less likely to change and hence lower the rate of interest.

5. Competition pricing in terms of what the other lenders are charging for the same facility also determines the interest rate.
