Kuala Lumpur (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 7th May, 2019 ) : Malaysia's central bank Tuesday cut its key interest rate for the first time in almost three years to boost slowing growth.
The move comes as central banks around the world adopt a more dovish stance in the face of a weak global outlook.
Bank Negara Malaysia cut the rate from by 25 basis points to 3.00 percent, the first reduction since July 2016. The last change was in January 2018 when borrowing costs were increased to 3.25 percent.
The bank said "considerable downside risks to global growth remain, stemming from unresolved trade tensions and prolonged country-specificweaknesses in the major economies".
