Net interest income to benefit from unchanged OPR
PETALING JAYA: Banks are expected to have a better net interest margin (NIM) outlook in 2021, following the decision by Bank Negara to keep the overnight policy rate (OPR) unchanged.
CGS-CIMB Research analyst Winson Ng was positive on the decision to retain the OPR at 1.75% as a fresh cut would be detrimental to banks’ earnings prospects.
