Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) maintained its benchmark Overnight Policy Rate (OPR) at three per cent on Thursday, according to its statement. The most recent data suggests that global growth is expected to continue, driven by strong domestic demand and global trade. In 2024, the Malaysian economy grew 5.1 per cent due to increased domestic demand and export recovery. Economic activity is projected to remain strong in 2025, supported by domestic demand despite external uncertainties. Attribution: Amwal Al Ghad English Subediting: M. S. Salama
