PETALING JAYA: Foreign investors are adopting a “wait-and-see” attitude before buying into Malaysian bonds after a massive sell-off amounting to RM3.6bil in July.

Analysts, however, are upbeat that foreign investors would increase their holdings on the nation’s bonds when a clearer picture of the political situation emerges and a plus point would be a stronger economy in the fourth quarter.
