On February 5, 2026, Bank Negara Malaysia's (BNM) Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) announced its decision to maintain the Overnight Policy Rate (OPR) at 3.00%. This decision was in line with market expectations. In a statement, BNM indicated that the current monetary policy stance supports economic growth while ensuring inflation remains within a manageable range. Core inflation has shown a decelerating trend for several consecutive months, reflecting easing domestic demand and supply chain pressures. BNM also noted that despite challenges in the global economic outlook, the Malaysian economy is projected to continue its moderate growth, supported by robust domestic demand and sustained investments. Analysts believe that BNM's move provides stability and predictability to the market, helping to boost investor confidence and support corporate investment decisions.
