Bond market remains robust

Continued foreign inflow into country bodes well for sector
PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian bond market is set to remain robust amid lingering risks after witnessing eight consecutive months of net foreign inflows into the market.
With the economic recovery underpinned by the financing of infrastructure projects, the government’s deficit financing due to stimulus measures and yield hunting activities by foreign investors, it spells good news for domestic bonds.
The government’s fiscal deficit in 2021 is projected to be at 5.4% of gross domestic product (GDP), despite a slight reduction from an estimated 6% last year.
The country’s GDP growth forecast for this year is expected to be between 6.5% and 7.5%, according to the Finance Ministry.
