In Malaysia, the interest rate decisions are taken by The Central Bank of Malaysia (Bank Negara Malaysia). The official interest rate is the Overnight Policy Rate.

Latest Updates

Bank Negara Malaysia unexpectedly lowered its overnight policy rate by 25 bps to 2.75 percent during its January meeting, bringing borrowing costs to the lowest since May 2011, in an attempt to boost economic growth amid price stability. For 2020, growth is expected to gradually improve supported by resilient private spending and better export performance, while private investment is projected to remain modest. Meantime, inflation is expected to average higher but remain modest. The ceiling and floor rates of the corridor of the overnight policy rate trimmed to 3 percent and 2.50 percent, respectively.
