Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) kept the Overnight Policy Rate (OPR) unchanged at 3.00%, citing contained inflation risks and stable domestic economic growth momentum.
Bank Negara Malaysia’s (BNM) Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) today announced its decision to maintain the Overnight Policy Rate (OPR) at 3.00%. This decision was widely anticipated by all economists surveyed. In a statement, BNM indicated that the current OPR level is appropriate to support economic growth while ensuring inflation remains within the target range. Domestic demand in Malaysia remains resilient despite uncertainties in the global economic outlook. BNM projects inflation to remain moderate throughout 2026, with core inflation pressures remaining manageable. Analysts generally believe the OPR will hold steady throughout the first half of 2026 unless significant external shocks materialize.
