KUALA LUMPUR: CIMB Securities Sdn Bhd is maintaining its 2025 gross domestic product (GDP) forecast for Malaysia at 4.0 per cent and believes that Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) may reduce the overnight policy rate (OPR) in the third quarter of 2025 (3Q 2025).
In a note today, the firm said that even with near-term support from export front-loading, Malaysia’s growth outlook remains clouded by persistent global trade uncertainties and uneven domestic recovery.
