Malaysia cbanker says may hike rates further-Bloomberg
KUALA LUMPUR, March 15 |
KUALA LUMPUR, March 15 (Reuters) - Malaysia's central bank will consider raising interest rates at its next policy meeting after a 25-basis-point hike earlier this month, Governor Zeti Akhtar Aziz told Bloomberg.
"We will review the conditions at our next monetary policy meeting and work towards further normalising if necessary," Zeti said in an interview that the news agency said was held last week and published on Monday.
Malaysia became the third Asian central bank to hike rates when it raised its policy rate off record lows to 2.25 percent to prevent asset bubbles forming.
