Gallaf gadarnhau bod Llywodraeth Cymru yn bwriadu gosod cap ar y gyfradd log a godir ar fenthyciadau myfyrwyr Cymru o fis Medi 2022, a hynny am gyfnod o 12 mis, yn amodol ar reoliadau sy’n cael eu gwneud ar hyn o bryd. 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 can confirm that the Welsh Government intends to cap the interest rate charged to Welsh students on their loans from September 2022 for a period of 12 months, subject to regulations being made. 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.
