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 aligns with broad market expectations, reflecting BNM's cautious monetary policy stance amidst current global economic uncertainties and domestic inflationary pressures. In its statement, BNM noted that the current monetary policy position is supportive of economic growth while ensuring inflation remains at a sustainable level. Despite challenging global economic prospects, Malaysia's domestic demand remains robust. Analysts believe that BNM is likely to consider adjusting interest rates only in the latter half of the year, depending on inflation trends and incoming economic data.
