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 the expectations of the vast majority of economists and market analysts. In its statement, BNM noted that the current monetary policy stance aims to support sustained economic growth while ensuring inflation remains within manageable levels.
