Bank Negara has been urged to continue its policy of holding off on hiking interest rates through the Overnight Policy Rate (OPR).

Former finance minister Lim Guan Eng said Bank Negara should align itself with the new policies of Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s government by focusing on his three key priorities.

Bank Negara: Low savings make some borrowers increasingly vulnerable

Collapse of US-based bank has minimal impact on M'sia - Ministry

Have a heart, don't raise OPR this year - Guan Eng

Half of household loan accounts unaffected by OPR hike - Ahmad Maslan

No economic downturn this year – Ahmad Maslan
