On February 5, 2026, Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM), following its Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting, announced its decision to maintain the Overnight Policy Rate (OPR) at 3.00%. This move was widely anticipated by the market and reflects the central bank's cautious assessment of domestic economic growth and inflation risks amidst current global economic uncertainties. BNM noted that despite a complex global economic outlook, Malaysia's domestic demand remains robust, and the labor market continues to improve. Concurrently, inflationary pressures have eased somewhat but potential external shocks still warrant vigilance. Analysts believe BNM's action aims to provide a stable monetary environment, support ongoing economic recovery, and retain flexibility for future policy adjustments.
