  • Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) signaled potential OPR cuts to support the economy amid global uncertainties, while maintaining the current rate at 3.00%.
  • Statutory Reserve Requirement (SRR) cut by 100 basis points to 1.00%, injecting RM19 billion into the banking system to boost liquidity.
  • Economic concerns include slowing global trade, weak investment, and manageable inflation, with analysts predicting rate cuts later in 2025.
