Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) announced its decision to maintain the Overnight Policy Rate (OPR) at 3.0% following its latest Monetary Policy Committee meeting. This decision was in line with the expectations of most economists and market analysts. In its statement, BNM highlighted that the current monetary policy stance supports sustained economic growth while ensuring inflation remains within a manageable range. Despite resilient domestic economic activity, the global economic outlook remains uncertain, particularly due to geopolitical tensions and the monetary policy paths of major economies. The central bank stated it would continue to closely monitor inflation dynamics, especially potential cost-push inflationary pressures, and stands ready to adjust policies if necessary to safeguard price stability and support sustainable economic growth.
