KUALA LUMPUR (June 24): Malaysia’s international reserves continued to swell and had risen 0.4% by June 14 from a fortnight earlier, the central bank said on Monday.

Latest foreign exchange reserves totalled US$114.1 billion, compared with US$113.6 billion at the end of May, Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) said in a statement.

The position is sufficient to finance 5.5 months of imports of goods and services, and is one time the total short-term external debt, it added.

BNM releases data on foreign exchange reserves every two weeks.
