Decade-high reserves

Bank Muamalat's Mohd Afzanizam said Bank Negara’s higher reserves mean that there are more inflows into the country’s balance of payment.

PETALING JAYA: Bank Negara’s international reserves are now at the strongest level in nearly a decade as investors keep pumping money into the country and more Malaysian businesses repatriate their profits.

As of Sept 13, the central bank’s international reserves stood at US$117.6bil, the highest since December 2014 based on data compiled by StarBiz.
