Bank Negara may hold key rate as economy recovers

Members of the public will be able to replace their ATM cards at their banks for free.

KUALA LUMPUR: Bank Negara is expected to hold its benchmark rate tomorrow, as the economy has improved after struggling due to poor global oil and commodity prices for more than a year.

South-East Asia’s third-largest economy saw stronger growth over the past two quarters on an uptick in exports, though recovery has been offset by continued weakness in the ringgit currency.
