BNM Maintains OPR Amid Escalating External Headwinds

Bank Negara Malaysia retained the OPR at 3%, signalling a measured yet optimistic stance despite mounting global volatility from U.S. tariffs and inflationary pressures. With subdued Q1 inflation and a ringgit vulnerable to external forces, focus shifts to policy adaptability and structural reforms to fortify resilience. Julia Goh, Senior Economist at UOB shares her analysis.
