[Malaysia's Central Bank Keeps Overnight Policy Rate Unchanged at 2.75% for Eighth Consecutive Meeting] ⑴ The Central Bank of Malaysia (CMB) kept its overnight policy rate (OPR) unchanged at 2.75% for the eighth consecutive meeting in November, in line with market expectations. ⑵ The Monetary Policy Committee stated that the current policy stance remains favorable for price stability and sustainable economic growth. ⑶ From January to October 2026, headline inflation and core inflation are projected to average 1.8% and 1.9%, respectively. ⑷ Geopolitical tensions, high global commodity prices, and severe weather are expected to exert upward pressure on inflation in 2027. ⑸ Meanwhile, recent indicators show that the economy continued to perform strongly in the third quarter of 2026, supported by robust exports and sustained domestic demand. This robust momentum is expected to drive full-year economic growth to over 5%. ⑹ The Monetary Policy Committee reiterated that it will closely monitor changes in the economic situation and assess their impact on the balance of risks to the domestic inflation and growth outlook.
