Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) has opted to maintain the Overnight Policy Rate (OPR) at 3.00%, a decision aimed at supporting economic growth while keeping inflation in check. This move aligns with market expectations, providing stability amidst evolving global economic conditions.
Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) announced today its decision to maintain the Overnight Policy Rate (OPR) at 3.00%. This decision, made after the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting, aims to balance the sustained momentum of domestic economic growth with potential inflationary risks. In a statement, BNM indicated that the current monetary policy stance is deemed supportive of the ongoing economic recovery while ensuring price stability. Despite global economic uncertainties, Malaysia's domestic demand remains robust, and the labor market continues to improve. Analysts generally believe that BNM will maintain a 'wait-and-see' approach for the foreseeable future, assessing global economic developments and domestic inflationary pressures.
