Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'borrowing' (the act of taking money) combined with 'cost' (monetary amount) clearly yields the amount charged for borrowing. This economic compound follows common cross-linguistic patterns (e.g. cost of loan) so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
The term borrowing cost comes from a simple image: borrowing is taking money to use and cost is the price you pay. So it means the amount charged for using money, like 'interest' or 'fees'.
