Bank Negara Malaysia's (BNM) Monetary Policy Committee today announced its decision to maintain the Overnight Policy Rate (OPR) at 3.00%. This marks the third consecutive meeting where the central bank has kept rates unchanged, primarily reflecting the easing of domestic inflationary pressures and resilient economic growth. In its statement, BNM noted that core inflation is expected to remain moderate, while the global economic outlook continues to face downside risks. Analysts widely anticipate that, barring any significant external shocks, BNM will likely keep the OPR unchanged throughout the first half of 2026 to support sustained economic recovery and ensure price stability. This provides a stable borrowing environment for businesses and consumers.
