KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia's bond market recorded a robust net foreign inflow of RM6.6bil as compared to a net outflow of RM3.6bil in the previous month, on the back of investor interest in Malaysian government securities (MGS) and government investment issues (GII).
According to RAM Ratings, the inflow in August was largely concentrated in the second half of the month, coinciding with the appointment of the ninth prime minister on Aug 22.
