KUALA LUMPUR: Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) is expected to keep the overnight policy rate (OPR) at 2.75% when the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meets today, according to Standard Chartered Bank.
In a research note yesterday, Standard Chartered said the January 2026 monetary policy statement indicated that BNM remains comfortable to keep the OPR on hold, with no hawkish signals suggesting a near-term reversal of the pre-emptive rate cut delivered in July 2025.
