Bank Negara Malaysia decided to increase the OPR by 25 basis points to 3.00 percent.
Today's MPC meeting concluded that the global economy is being driven by strong domestic demand, a strong labour market, and a stronger-than-expected Chinese economy. High-cost pressures and interest rates, on the other hand, weigh on the global economy. Core inflation remains above the national average despite overall inflation falling. As a result, the MPC decides to normalise monetary policy. Given Malaysia's economic strength, the MPC recognises the importance of maintaining appropriate monetary policy to prevent financial imbalances. Monetary policy is slightly accommodating and economically supportive.
