Foreign investors poured $3.9bn into Malaysian government and corporate bonds in August, the largest monthly inflow Bank Negara Malaysia has recorded since 2016. Optimism about AI-led investment — Malaysia has become a Southeast Asian data‑centre hub attracting multibillion-dollar commitments from ORACLE and Amazon — helped underpin flows and the ringgit, which gained more than 1% in August to rank among Asia's best-performing currencies. RBC Asia macro strategist Abbas Keshvani said global funds see Malaysia as an AI winner with strong export growth and FDI, and the trend could continue if similar foreign investment flows persist.
