Quotes from Capital Economics:

- Malaysian central bank (BNM) looks set to keep its policy rate on hold at its meeting (10.00 GMT). 

- Although headline consumer price inflation dropped back sharply in January, it is likely to increase again once a Goods and Service tax comes into effect on 1st April. 

- The recent weakness of the ringgit and the risk of capital outflows are other reasons why the BNM will be wary of joining other central banks, in cutting interest rates.
