Rate cut to have little impact on property sector


Bank Negara lowered the OPR by 25bps to 3% on Tuesday. Based on historical trends, CGSCIMB said this is likely to result in banks lowering their indicative lending rates.

CGSCIMB said in a report yesterday that the OPR cut would spur property demand to some extent.
