Short-term rates seen steady next week on BNM operations

SHORT-TERM interbank rates are expected to remain steady next week, underpinned by Bank Negara Malaysia's (BNM) continued operations to absorb excess liquidity from the financial system. This week, the central bank intervened daily by conducting reverse repo tenders, overnight reverse repo tenders, and Islamic reverse repo tenders to reduce excess funds in the financial system. On a weekly basis, surplus liquidity in the conventional system declined to RM20.30 billion from RM23 billion last Friday. In the Islamic system, surplus liquidity rose to RM33.69 billion from RM27.90 billion previously. The Malaysia Islamic Overnight Rate (MYOR-i) stood at 2.75 per cent as of July 10, 2025. — BERNAMA
