Foreign outflow from Sri Lanka government bonds reverses in past week

May 24, 2019 (LBO) - Foreign investors moved back into Sri Lanka government bonds during the past week slightly reversing significant outflows that were experienced in the aftermath of the Easter Sunday terror attacks.

Foreign investors were net purchasers of Rs2.1bn (US$12mn) worth of Sri Lanka's government securities during the past week. This comes on the heels of over US$100mn of outflows seen in the aftermath of the terror attacks.

Outflows from stocks on the week were muted with less than US$1mn worth of net foreign selling in the past holiday shortened week. Turnover at the Colombo Stock Exchange was extraordinarily slow during the past week, averaging just over US$1mn per day. Stocks were lower on the week, but not by much with less than 1% weekly losses on the major indices.
