Despite the rise in interest rate swap (IRS) rates back in November, buying interest in local govvies was unhindered in December. Support for local govvies came primarily from the ongoing appreciation of the ringgit, firmer crude oil prices and growing optimism on the Malaysian economy amid a slew of upbeat data releases. Ringgit 7 The ringgit ended December at its highest level for the year against the US dollar. It was up 445 pips at RM (November: RM4.0910), also its highest level since June Gains in the ringgit were supported by foreign inflows into the local bond and equity markets amid rising optimism on Malaysia s economic performance in the near term.

2 Global Markets A quick review The UST s accelerated flattening is no surprise given the US Fed s third interest rate hike of the year in December. European bond market sentiment turned bearish after the German government announced its plan to issue more debt than expected in UK gilts ended broadly higher after a volatile December. It was an eventful December for global bond markets with a stream of economic data, central bank meetings and fiscal developments keeping investors occupied. The accelerated flattening of the UST curve is no surprise considering that the Fed had announced its third interest rate hike of the year. In addition, there was the anticipation of a similarly aggressive rate hike going forward, as the Fed has predicted three rate increases in Longer-term UST yields were pressured by the Fed s reluctance to raise inflation forecasts despite robust GDP growth. While the US Senate finally approved the tax reform bill on December 2, bond investors seemed sceptical about its expansionary impact on the economy. As widely expected, the European Central Bank (ECB) kept its policy und at its December monetary policy meeting. In its monetary policy statement, it continued to stress the importance of monetary support to sustain growth, as well as lifting inflation to a healthy 2% level. On the euro zone s outlook, the ECB remained cautious on inflation even though it has expressed increasing confidence on economic growth, similar to US Fed. Meanwhile, sentiment in the European bond market turned bearish after the German government announced its plan to issue more debt than expected in In contrast, UK gilts ended broadly higher after a volatile December. Yields of UK gilts initially rose on optimism that European Union (EU) leaders will give the green light for Brexit negotiations to move to the second stage as this would offer more clarity on future trade and transition pacts between the UK and the EU. As the month progressed, however, the market started becoming more concerned with how the Brexit would affect the UK economy going forward, thereby stoking a haven flow into UK gilts. The 3Q2017 gross domestic product (GDP) report showed the UK economy growing 1.7% year-on-year (y-o-y) compared to 1.9% in 2Q2017, thus confirming the ongoing slowdown of the economy.

3 May-16 Jul-16 Nov-16 Malaysian Government Bond Market Primary market review Monthly Bond Market & Rating Snapshot Surge in MGS issuances in December contributed to the total growth outstanding of local govvies. December s primary market was weak with both the MGS and GII issues recording low BTCs. In December, the combined outstanding of Malaysian Government Securities (MGS) and Government Investment Issue (GII) papers rose by RM5.0 billion to RM632.7 billion (November 2017: RM627.7 billion). Growth was led by a significant surge in MGS issuances that amounted to RM8.9 billion, the highest monthly issuance for the year. For the whole of 2017, total local govvies (MGS/GII) issued amounted to RM113.9 billion (2016: RM86.0 billion), the highest level of issuance in history. Total issuance for 2017 was in line with MARC s projection of RM105.0 billion to RM110.0 billion. Overall, MGS dominated the primary market for local govvies in 2017, as evidenced by the GII-to-MGS ratio of 47:53 (2016: 49:51). Primary market performance was weak in December with the government receiving bids amounting to RM6.6 billion for two issues in the public auction market. December s bids were the lowest received for the year. In the previous month, the bids for the three November issues had reached RM18.3 billion. December s two issues comprised the RM2.0 billion 10y reopening of MGS and the RM2.0 billion 15.5y new issue of GII. The MGS issue of 7 th December 2017 drew a bid-to-cover (BTC) ratio of 1.5x, the lowest BTC for the year. The subdued demand was due to the weaker performance of the secondary market that week amid heightened expectations of a Federal Funds Rate (FFR) hike. Demand for the GII, which was issued on 15 th December 2017, was also lacklustre. The issue commanded a BTC of 1.8x, the lowest for similar issues since February Exhibit 5: Summary of Malaysian government securities statistics (RM billion) Gross issuance Redemption Net issuance Total outstanding MGS GII Total MGS GII Total MGS GII Total MGS GII Total Source: BNM Bond Info Hub, Exhibit 6: Malaysian government securities auction results in December Issues Tenure Amount Average yield Issue date BTC (x) (years) (RM mil) (%) 10-year reopening of MGS (Mat on 11/27) , year new issue of GII (Mat on 06/33) , Source: BNM Fast, Exhibit 7: Total outstanding MGS/GII papers in December 2017 continued to rise amid higher MGS issuances Exhibit 8: BTC ratios of MGS and GII papers for the past one year Issuance (LHS) Redemption (LHS) Outstanding (RHS) 4.0 MGS GII 1-year average BTC ratio RMmillion 16,000 14,000 12,000 10,000 8,000 6,000 4,000 2,000 - Outstanding (RM million) 660, , , , , , , , Source: BNM Bond Info Hub, Source: BNM Fast, 3
4 Secondary market review Local govvies recorded gains in December albeit on lower trading volume, supported by a stronger ringgit, firmer crude oil prices and optimism on the economy. The benchmark MGS yield curve shifted downwards with yields across most tenors lower. Compared to November, local govvies ended December on a stronger footing. Yields on both MGS and GII papers were broadly lower with MGS making the most gains. However, the total trading volume of local govvies fell to RM28.3 billion (November: RM63.7 billion) on a lack of trading interest as traders took off for the year-end holidays. Despite the increase in interest rate swap (IRS) rates back in November, buying interest for local govvies were unhindered in December. Support came from the ongoing appreciation of the ringgit, firmer crude oil prices, as well as growing optimism on Malaysia s economy amid a slew of upbeat data releases. As of end-december, the benchmark MGS yield curve had shifted lower m-o-m with most tenors seeing lower yields. Benchmark MGS yields along the 3y7y curve shed three bps to eight bps while yields along the 15y20y curve shed six bps to seven bps. Meanwhile, the benchmark yield on the 10y MGS was higher by two bps at 3.89% on profit-taking activities during the last week of December. As a result, the 10/3 MGS spread widened by 10 bps to 59 bps in December.

For the second consecutive month in December, foreign investors were net buyers of local govvies. As a result, foreign holdings rose to RM186.3 billion, buoyed by inflows into both MGS (RM4.1 billion) and GII (RM0.6 billion) on the continued outperformance of the ringgit. Consequently, total foreign ownership of both MGS and GII increased in December, rising to 45.1% and 6.9% of total outstanding, respectively, amid a higher net issuance of RM5.0 billion (November: RM1.5 billion). Meanwhile, foreign holdings of Malaysian Treasury Bills (MTB) in December came in lower at RM2.4 billion (November: RM3.1 billion). The foreign holdings of Malaysian Islamic Treasury Bills (MITB), on the other hand, remained und at RM0.9 billion. The lower foreign holdings of short-term local govvies is as expected given the higher demand for longer-tenured papers amid rising optimism over Malaysia s economic growth outlook N Exhibit 18: Summary of foreign holdings in local govvies Foreign holdings (RM mil) Composition (%) Foreign flows (RM mil) MGS 160, , ,095 4,125 GII 17,932 18, , MGS+GII 178, , ,228 4,689 Treasury bills 4,044 3, , Total 182, , ,603 3,976 Source: BNM, Source: BNM, BPAM, Source: BNM, BPAM, 6

In December, the ringgit settled at its highest level for the year against the US dollar. Up by 445 pips at RM against the greenback from RM in November, that was also its highest level since June Support for the ringgit had come from foreign inflows into the local bond and equity markets amid rising optimism over the country s economic growth prospects with both international rating agencies and research houses upgrading their 2018 GDP growth forecasts. There was also support from upbeat October trade data and firmer crude oil prices amid the extension of oil output cuts by the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). The US Fed s decision to maintain its projection of the number of FFR hikes for 2018 also lent its support to the ringgit. Against other major currencies The local note ended the year mixed against other major currencies. The ringgit ended December mixed against other major currencies.

8 Malaysian Corporate Bond Market Monthly Bond Market & Rating Snapshot Higher local corporate bond issuances in December attributed to higher issuances from the unrated corporate bonds segment gross issuance of corporate bonds amounted to RM122.9 billion, the highest recorded since Total gross issuance of corporate bonds in December increased by RM1.7 billion or 14.4% m-o-m to RM13.8 billion. Growth was mainly attributed to higher issuances from the unrated corporate bonds segment, which came in at RM3.8 billion. Issuances in the segment were led by PNB Merdeka Ventures Sdn Bhd s six tranches of Islamic Medium-term Notes (IMTN) worth RM1.9 billion. Meanwhile, all the other corporate bond segments recorded decreases in December, with the unrated government-guaranteed (GG) bonds segment showing the biggest decline. For the whole of 2017, the total gross issuance of long-term corporate bonds came in 45.0% higher than the previous year at RM122.9 billion, and the highest level reached since 2012 (RM123.8 billion).
