Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) announced its decision to maintain the Overnight Policy Rate (OPR) at 3.00% during its latest Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting. This move was widely anticipated by the market and reflects the central bank's strategy to balance persistent domestic inflationary pressures with the imperative to support sustainable economic growth.
