BNM’s unchanged OPR rate signals confidence in economic growth: Analysts

Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) has decided to keep the Overnight Policy Rate (OPR) unchanged at 3.00%, aligning with market expectations and its ongoing commitment to supporting sustainable economic growth. The decision reflects BNM’s confidence that the current rate is appropriate amid manageable inflation and steady economic momentum.

Unchanged OPR rate

APEX analysts echoed BNM’s stance, highlighting that inflation remains within the forecasted range of 2.0%-3.5% despite potential upward pressures from rising household incomes, the SST expansion, and subsidy rationalization. Malaysia’s GDP is projected to grow by 4.6% in 2025, supported by resilient domestic spending, infrastructure projects, and pro-growth initiatives under the Economy MADANI framework.
