◆ The foreign exchange reserves rose by US$4.8bn in 2H September to US$100.7bn as at 30 September,
compared with an increase of US$0.65bn in 1H September. This was due to the repatriation of export proceeds and
inflow of foreign portfolio funds, which were offset partially by the payment of import bills. As it stands, foreign
portfolio investment in fixed income papers rose by RM3.4bn in August, albeit by a smaller magnitude compared with
an increase of RM5.9bn in July.
