KUALA LUMPUR: Bank Negara is likely to maintain its accommodative stance and keep the overnight policy rate (OPR) steady through at least the first half of this year.
AmBank Research chief economist Firdaos Rosli said for now, he does not see Bank Negara having the appetite to act on OPR. “This is because the necessary conditions for the OPR to stay at 3% are still there,” he said at an economic briefing here yesterday.
