In its latest issue of the Asia Bond Monitor ― June 2019 quarterly report released today, the ADB said the outstanding amount of Malaysia’s local currency bonds totalled US$353.0 billion at end-March 2019, registering a 7.6 per cent year-on-year growth from Q1 2018. The report said Malaysia's government bond market size stood at US$188.0 billion at end-March, up 8.7 per cent y-o-y in local currency terms, mainly driven by an expansion of central government bonds.
