Bank Negara Holds at 2.75%: What Comes Next in 2027?

Dela

Bank Negara Malaysia kept the Overnight Policy Rate at 2.75 per cent at its last policy meeting of the year, as most economists had expected. But interbank rates have risen about 30 basis points this year even with the OPR unchanged, a minimum wage increase is due next year, and US Treasury yields have fallen after the midterms. We speak to Khoon Goh, Head of Asia Research at ANZ, about what drove the decision, what the gap between market rates and the policy rate tells us, and where Malaysian interest rates could head in 2027.
