Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) today announced its decision to maintain the Overnight Policy Rate (OPR) at 3.00%. This decision is in line with widespread market expectations, reflecting BNM's cautious stance aimed at balancing inflation risks and supporting economic growth in the current macroeconomic environment. In its statement, BNM noted that while the global economic outlook continues to face challenges, domestic economic activity remains resilient, and the labour market continues to improve. Core inflation is expected to remain moderate, and the impact of government subsidy rationalisation measures is being closely monitored. Analysts generally believe that BNM will continue to adopt a data-driven monetary policy, with a low probability of further interest rate adjustments in the short term.
