-- マレーシア中央銀行は、市場予想通り、政策金利(OPR)を2.75%に据え置いたと、木曜日のプレスリリースで発表した。 中央銀行は、堅調な国内需要とテクノロジーセクターの継続的な拡大に支えられ、2026年初頭の世界経済成長は引き続き堅調に推移すると述べた。しかし、エネルギー価格と商品価格の上昇、そして中東情勢の緊張に関連したサプライチェーンの混乱が、成長の勢いを鈍化させ始めている。 マレーシアについては、国内需要と堅調な輸出に牽引され、第1四半期は着実な成長が見込まれると、成長指標は示している。 第1四半期の総合インフレ率とコアインフレ率は、それぞれ平均1.6%と2.1%だった。世界的な商品価格の上昇によるコスト圧力が物価を若干押し上げる可能性はあるものの、政策措置と安定した需要状況に支えられ、2026年のインフレ率は抑制されると中央銀行は予測している。
