BNM holds overnight policy rate at 2.75%

The central bank said the latest indicators continued to point to broadly resilient global growth.

KUALA LUMPUR: Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) kept the overnight policy rate (OPR) unchanged at 2.75% yesterday, extending its pause in monetary policy after a 25-basis-point cut in July 2025.

The move was widely anticipated, with economists surveyed by Bloomberg and Reuters expecting BNM to leave the OPR unchanged at 2.75% at its fourth Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting of the year.
