Bank Negara holds key interest rate at 3.25%


PETALING JAYA: Bank Negara has kept the Overnight Policy Rate (OPR) at 3.25% in light of moderate global economic growth.

The decision at Thursday’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting came after heavy debate over an anticipated 25-basis point rate hike, seeing that Malaysia had recorded a strong gross domestic product growth of 6.4% in its second quarter.
