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

PETALING JAYA: Bank Negara expects the current account (CA) surplus to narrow in the years ahead, with the CA to register a surplus of between 1% and 2% of gross national income (GNI) this year.

The central bank, in its annual report 2016, said the performance of the current account would continue to be influenced by global and domestic developments in the near term.
