Commercial mortgage lender and bridging specialist TAB reacts to the interest rate decision
18 June 2026
Karen Rodrigues, director of sales at TAB, a commercial mortgage lender and bridging specialist, welcomed the decision to hold rates steady.
"This was absolutely the right call," she said. "Borrowers need stability right now, and a hold gives the market room to breathe.
"It's difficult to bring momentum to lending when rate uncertainty is hanging over the market. Businesses are already navigating a challenging environment, and the labour market has cooled considerably. This is not the time to add further pressure. The committee made the right decision, and we hope it gives both lenders and borrowers the confidence to keep moving forward."
