PETALING JAYA: Bank Negara Malaysia’s (BNM) Monetary Policy Committee has retained the Overnight Policy Rate (OPR) at 1.75%, citing the recovery in the global economy led by improvements in manufacturing and export activity.
However, it noted that the recent resurgence in Covid-19 cases and subsequent containment measures have affected activity in several major economies.
“The expedited rollout of mass vaccination programmes, together with ongoing policy support, is expected to lift global growth prospects going forward. Financial conditions also remain supportive,” the committee said in a statement.
It said the overall outlook remains subject to downside risks, primarily if there is further resurgence of infections and delays in mass inoculation against the pandemic.
