Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) today announced its decision to maintain the Overnight Policy Rate (OPR) at 3.00%, aligning with market expectations. This move aims to balance supporting economic growth while managing inflationary pressures, as domestic demand remains resilient and global economic uncertainties persist.
The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) of Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) released a statement after its meeting today, deciding to maintain the Overnight Policy Rate (OPR) at 3.00%. The statement highlighted that the current monetary policy stance is supportive and will not stifle economic growth.
