Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) decided to maintain the Overnight Policy Rate (OPR) at 3.00% in its latest Monetary Policy Committee meeting. This decision aims to balance inflationary pressures with the need to support sustainable economic growth amidst global uncertainties.
Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM), at its Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting concluded on Thursday, unanimously decided to maintain the Overnight Policy Rate (OPR) at 3.00%. This decision aligns with market expectations and reflects BNM's priority in sustaining domestic economic growth momentum and price stability amidst current global economic uncertainties. In a statement, BNM indicated that the current monetary policy stance remains supportive and will not impede economic recovery. While inflationary pressures have eased, the global economic outlook continues to face challenges, particularly from slower growth among key trading partners. Analysts believe BNM is likely to keep the OPR unchanged through the second half of the year, barring significant inflation shocks or signs of accelerated economic growth.
