Hi,
Thanks for the update.
Within a short period of time, BNM has cut the OPR again by another 50 basis points to 2.00% and SRR to 1.0%, effective 1 March 2009.
I am still waiting for most of the banks to update their BLR rate before posting the updated information here, and you have done the job.
Thank you.
