    BNM keeps overnight policy rate unchanged as widely expected amid resilient economy, tame inflation

    Malaysia’s central bank kept the benchmark interest rate unchanged as expected on Thursday, drawing comfort from resilient economic growth and tame inflation.

    The overnight policy rate remains unchanged at 2.75%, Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) said following its sixth and final monetary policy review for the year. The decision was correctly predicted by all economists in a Bloomberg poll. 

    The current rate remains appropriate and supportive of the economy amid price stability, the central bank said.
