Market Summary



Yield Movements

Between 31 August and 15 October, the yield curve of Malaysia’s local currency (LCY) government bonds shifted upward. The change in the monetary policy stance of the United States Federal Reserve prompted investors to shift to safe-haven assets. Political uncertainties and short-term bond supply concerns in Malaysia also contributed to the shift in the curve. During the review period, the yield spread between the 2-year and 10-year tenors of LCY government bonds widened from 126 basis points to 146 basis points.

Size and Composition

The LCY bond market of Malaysia was valued at MYR1,718.8 billion (USD410.6 billion) in the third quarter of 2021, representing an expansion of 1.5% quarter-on-quarter (q-o-q) as government and corporate bonds increased during the quarter. LCY government bonds grew 1.5% q-o-q driven by outstanding central government bonds. The stock of corporate bonds increased 1.4% q-o-q at the end of September. Outstanding sukuk (Islamic bonds) totaled MYR1,096.7 billion, growing 3.0% from the second quarter of 2021.

Policy, Institutional, and Regulatory Developments

On 24 September, Bank Negara Malaysia announced the Malaysia overnight rate (MYOR) as the economy’s reference rate. Based on liquid market transactions, MYOR will reflect financial market conditions well. MYOR will also run parallel to the Kuala Lumpur interbank offered rate, giving consumers the flexibility to choose rates that are compatible with their needs.
