OPR Maintain, but…
OPR maintain at 2.75 per cent after the first Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) in 2011 was held today on 27 January 2011.
BNM said this decision is consistent with the current assessment of the economic growth and inflation prospects.
Many economists anticipated that BNM will increase the OPR up to 3.5 per cent by mid 2011. This is equal to an estimation of 75 points increase and probably would hike the BLR to 7.05% from 6.3% currently.

BLR biasanya will be base on the OPR which is control by BNM. Pada fahaman saya, OPR adalah berdasarkan keadaan ekonomi semasa, whether kadar inflasi adalah tinggi ataupun rendah. Ia juga boleh memberikan gambaran our dasar ekonomi samada kita menuju ke arah spending or saving. If the data show that there is too much debt on the consumer sector, the OPR also one of the tools to control it. So, it’s not solely due to the bonus.. Correct me if I’m wrong..

agree with inflation..the salient reason why BLR naik cos BNM nak control domestic debts..Malaysia adalah negara yg mempunyai domestic debts highest in Asia..

ada pro & con BLR naik
PROS:
kalo BLR naik sampai 7.02%…possible higher return of ASB…since ASB fund performance benchmark is KLIBOR..maybe bole dpt 9-10%…
CONS:
kalo return ASB xtinggi cam tu…can start consider of surrendering all ASB loan & ODASB…dah x untung dah berniaga

BLR naik nak control domestic debts? true utk lender yg baru nak apply. For yg tgh berhutang? this will increase the burden… more debts left unpaid..
there’s another way of controlling domestic debts. eg. stop accepting new application.
to control domestic debts is a lame excuse while the real thing is to build 100 storey building. LOL.
