Brief Explanations:

The Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 aimed to address discriminatory lending practices (redlining) against borrowers in certain neighborhoods. It required banks to meet the credit needs of all segments of their communities, including low - and moderate - income neighborhoods. It was not primarily about reducing discrimination against banks. While it could have had some positive economic impacts in the long run through more inclusive lending, its main focus was on borrowers. There was no direct mandate to lower bank interest rates.

Answer:

reducing discrimination against borrowers.
