Malaysia’s local currency (LCY) bond yield movements were mixed between 1 December 2023 and 29 February 2024. Investors were cautious as the timing of the United States Federal Reserve’s monetary policy easing remained uncertain.
The LCY bond market of Malaysia expanded 1.2% quarter-on-quarter (q-o-q), reaching MYR2.0 trillion by the end of 2023. All bond segments supported this growth, with Bank Negara Malaysia bills leading all bond types, rising 11.0% q-o-q during the last quarter of 2023. A 0.4% q-o-q increase was recorded for outstanding Islamic bonds which comprised 63.8% of Malaysia’s LCY bond market. Issuance of LCY bonds during the fourth quarter of 2023 declined 12.2% q-o-q, however, as fewer issuance of Treasury and other government bonds, and central bank bills occurred during the quarter.
On 20 February, Bank Negara Malaysia released a statement assuring investors that the recent depreciation of the ringgit against the United States dollar did not reflect the underlying fundamentals of the Malaysian economy. The falling ringgit was mainly due to external factors such as reduced exports due to the People’s Republic of China’s sluggish economic growth and the uncertainty in the timing of the United States Federal Reserve’s policy rate cuts.
