Malaysia: Foreign portfolio inflows accelerated in June – UOB – by pabspiovano Malaysia Portfolio Banks
UOB Group’s Senior Economist Julia Gogh and Economist Loke Siew Ting review the latest foreign portfolio figures in Malaysia.Malaysia continued to garner foreign portfolio inflows for a sixth straight month in Jun and for a second consecutive quarter . This was purely driven by higher foreign purchases of Malaysian debt securities , which fully offset the persistent foreign selling of Malaysian equities .
Lingering global economic and financial challenges as well as ongoing geopolitical tensions continue to point to volatile capital flows into emerging markets including Malaysia in the near term. Domestically, political uncertainty linger ahead of the six state elections on 12 Aug. Bank Negara Malaysia kept a cautious view on the economic outlook as the policy rate was kept unchanged at 3.00% last week. We expect BNM to keep rates unchanged for the rest of the year.
