Time to Buy Emerging Markets?

Ong Seng Yeow

Time to Buy Emerging Markets?

Ong Seng Yeow, Research Director at Maybank Kim Eng, Singapore talks about: 
- Developed Markets' inflows continue to trump Emerging Markets… turning point to bring investors back to emerging mkts?

- As foreign investors are selling EM… isn’t this time to buy? Or still too early to pile in? 

- The IT sector constituted the bulk of EM outflows last week (22%) – what drove this?

- Equity outflows from M’sia have accelerated recently? Is this mainly due to Fitch lowering M’sia ratings outlook from stable to negative? Or are there other factors at play? Bearing in mind that Moody's is maintaining Malaysia's A3 rating. 

- forecast for ringgit. 

BFM's Khoo Hsien Chun speaks with him.
