Mi wnes i ddatganiad ar 13 Mehefin 2022 i gadarnhau’r bwriad i osod cap o 7.3% ar y gyfradd log a godir ar rai o fenthyciadau myfyrwyr Cymru o fis Medi 2022, a hynny am gyfnod o 12 mis.  Yn sgil adolygiad pellach, gallaf ddweud y bydd y gyfradd yn cael ei chapio ar gyfradd is o 6.3% am dri mis o 1 Medi 2022.  Mae’r cap hwn hefyd wedi’i gyhoeddi gan Lywodraeth y DU ar gyfer myfyrwyr Lloegr. Bydd Llywodraeth Cymru yn parhau i ddiogelu myfyrwyr rhag cyfraddau llog uchel ar eu benthyciadau, cyfraddau sy’n deillio o lefelau chwyddiant uchel.
I made a statement on 13 June 2022 to confirm the intention to cap the interest rate charged to Welsh students on certain loans from September 2022 at 7.3% for a period of 12 months. Following further review, I can state that the rate will be capped at a lower rate of 6.3% for three months from 1 September 2022. This cap has also been announced by the UK Government for English students. The Welsh Government will continue to protect students from high interest rates on their loans, rates which are a result of high levels of inflation.
