Foreign Investors Pull Record $52 Billion From Asian Emerging-Market Stocks in March
The reported outflow from Asian emerging-market equities excluding China has already surpassed the previous full-month record set in 2020.
Fact Check
The claim is directly corroborated by a detailed report from Bloomberg (March 26, 2026), which confirms the $52 billion figure and the fact that it exceeds the previous record from March 2020. The report specifically mentions the exclusion of China and identifies the primary drivers as geopolitical conflict and oil price volatility.
Emerging-market equities: Stocks listed in developing economies, which often carry higher growth potential and higher risk than shares in advanced markets.
