{{Short description|Securities issued by Central Bank of Malaysia}}
{{More citations needed|date=September 2007}}
'''Bank Negara Monetary Notes (BNMN)''' are securities issued by [[Central Bank of Malaysia]] replacing the existing Bank Negara Bills (BNB) for purposes of managing liquidity in both the conventional and Islamic [[financial market]]. The maturity of these issuances has been lengthened from one year to three years however, this is not intended to signal any targeted level of long-term [[interest rates]]. The [[Overnight Policy Rate]] remains the sole indicator of the [[monetary]] policy stance while short-term and long-term [[interest rates]] at other maturities will continue to be market determined, reflecting overall demand and supply conditions as well as prevailing [[interest rate]] expectations in the [[financial market]]. New issuances of BNMN may be issued either on a discounted or a coupon-bearing basis depending on [[investor]]s' demand. Discount-based BNMN will be traded using the same market convention as the existing BNB and [[Malaysia]]n Treasury Bills (MTB) while the coupon-based BNMN will adopt the market convention of [[Malaysia]]n Government Securities (MGS).The inaugural issuance was on 8 December 2006 with an issue size of RM1. billion.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bnm.gov.my/index.php?ch=8&pg=14&ac=1349 |title=BNM Press Statements |website=www.bnm.gov.my |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110723212824/http://www.bnm.gov.my/index.php?ch=8&pg=14&ac=1349 |archive-date=2011-07-23}} </ref>

BNMN are tradable on yield basis (discounted rate) based on bands of remaining tenure (e.g., Band 4= 68 to 91 days to maturity). The standard trading amount is RM5 million.
