She add that, interest rates are still at a level that is supportive of growth, which may be about the same or slightly better in the 2H of 2011 compared to 1Q 2011.

Malaysia likely to maintain key rate (Business Tines, 7-Sept-2011) . Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) is expected to keep the main interest rate steady at 3.0% amid rising concern the global economy could slip into recession again. The monetary policy will have to be pro-growth until the global economic outlook brightens up again. As such, expectations are that BNM will leave Overnight Policy Rate (OPR), the benchmark key interest rate, unchanged as well as the statutory reserve requirement (SRR) at 4%. BNM, now has even more justification to maintain its wait-and-see stance given the negative impact on global sentiment from recent developments in the United State and Europe. LAND TRANSACTIONS 5.
