Why?

Posted by calvintaneng > 2019-05-08 00:15 | Report Abuse

Cut of .25% to 3% not enough lah

Make it a more deeper cut to 2% better

1. Lower interest rate will ease high loan payment for houses

2. Low interest also help give relief to Company debt obligations ...leading to better cash flow and profits

3. Low interest cut cost and make Malaysia exports even more competitive

So go ahead, Bank Negara, cut it to 2% boldly and stimulate the economy to the full

what we can say about OPR cut is that authorities are concerned about a weakening economy........


beyond that, it is anyone's guess.

productivity or GDP per capita is one. For your information, our GDP per capita is 1/7 of Singapore's... Basically it means 1 Singaporean can be 7x times more productive than us Malaysian, what a shame.

If you cut yr interest rate too much, ppl will be selling all their bonds because of lower interest rate. That's why central bank will not cut more than 0.25 basis points. If bond market is flooded, the price of ringgit will normally drop more against US dollar. Better for exporters, but bad for importers and politics.
