Malaysia Bond Outflows Hit $1.4 Billion in July as Fiscal, Rate Outlooks Offer Relief
1 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jul 30
Summary
$1.4 billion of foreign money has left Malaysian bonds so far in July, marking the heaviest monthly outflow since October 2024.
That retreat may start to slow because investors still see Malaysia's public finances as relatively healthy and expect policy efforts to keep easing inflation pressures.
The July selloff is already the largest bond outflow in Asia outside China, where comparable data are unavailable after March.
The outlook suggests Malaysia's bond market remains under pressure now, but domestic fiscal strength and a steadier rate path could limit further foreign exits.
