Summary

Global investors sold $11 billion worth of equities across developing Asian markets excluding China this week, marking the largest outflow since March 2022. Apart from the 2022 bear market and the 2020 pandemic-driven selloff, this represents the most significant withdrawal from the region in recent years, reflecting investor concerns over slower growth and shifting capital toward safer or more stable assets.
