KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 9 (Bernama) – Although foreign funds are back in the country’s equities market amid the strengthening global and domestic economy and fundamentals, concerns over the political and social situation still exist, a forum was told today.
Maybank Investment Bank’s chief economist, Suhaimi Ilias, said foreign investors' participation in Malaysia’s capital market was only 40 per cent previously.
"(But) it is now increasing steadily," he said at the Market Chat 2009/2010 Road Show here today.
Asia Alternative Asset Partners Ltd’s chief executive officer, Paul Smith, however, cautioned that there were still concerns, especially about the political and social situation in the country.
He said increasing crime rate was one of them.
