Half of household loan accounts unaffected by OPR hike - Ahmad Maslan

KUALA LUMPUR: A total of 50.3 per cent or 6.4 million household loan accounts are fixed-rate loans that are not affected by the 100 basis point increase in the overnight policy rate (OPR) last year, said Deputy Finance Minister I Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan.

An estimated 54.8 per cent of loan accounts of low-income borrowers, with an income of less than RM5,000 per month, are on fixed-rate loans, he said.
