ASIAN equities attracted their biggest inflows in seven years in 2023, encouraged by major central banks' deceleration in rate hikes to prioritize economic stimulation amid diminishing inflation worries.

Central banks only moderated the pace of their rate hikes last year, but this year analysts anticipate increased foreign inflows into regional equities as the potential for U.S. rate cuts enhance the appeal of risk assets.
