‘New OPR will have little impact’


PETALING JAYA: An increase of 0.25% in the overnight policy rate (OPR) will not have a significant impact on borrowers for low-cost and affordable housing priced between RM45,000 and RM450,000, according to a senior executive of a real estate agency.

VPC Realtors (KL) Sdn Bhd director James Wong said there would only be an estimated marginal increase of RM5 to RM53 per month in loan repayment compared to the previous interest rate for a 30-year tenure with a 20:80 margin (see chart).
