Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) announced today, February 24, 2026, that its Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) has decided to maintain the Overnight Policy Rate (OPR) at 3.00%. This decision was in line with the expectations of most economists. In its statement, BNM noted that while the global economic outlook continues to face downside risks, domestic economic activity remains on an expansionary path. Although inflationary pressures have eased somewhat, core inflation still requires close monitoring. This hold aims to provide continued support for the economy while ensuring price stability. Analysts anticipate BNM will maintain a wait-and-see approach for the foreseeable future, unless there are significant surprises in inflation or economic growth.
