# OPR stays at 2.75 percent, ringgit strengthens to RM4.04 against dollar

> The ringgit extended its gains against the US dollar and other major currencies after Bank Negara Malaysia kept the Overnight Policy Rate at 2.75 per cent at its last policy meeting of the year. The local note closed at 4.0445/0490 per dollar, from 4.0610/0660 on Wednesday. An economist said a 25 basis point hike in 2027 cannot be ruled out.
