Malaysia | Foreign Exchange | Quo Vadis, Ringgit! Facts And Evolutions

Forex%20Currency%20Charts%20%7C%20Exchange%20Rates%20Malaysian%20Ringgit%20Against%20Major%20Currencies%20Published%20By%20Bank%20Negara%20Malaysia%20%28BNM%29


Since beginning of this year, I started to have interest in foreign exchange market when a deal involving a foreigner purchase of landed property. Investor Forum Business Daily | Exchange Rates History| Malaysian Ringgit versus US Dollar. That was the time I started my monitoring.

A glass could be half full or half empty. Depending on how you view it. For us as investors we would like to look from the perspective of how turn the tides around with data. As history been mentioned, Malaysia started to pegged the ringgit against greenback (US dollar) in September 1998. For a duration of 7 years till July 2005 the ringgit was pegged at the psychological threshold of RM3.8000-to-a-dollar. Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) did the capital control during Asian financial crisis (AFC). 

Fast forward exactly 10 years after lifted the peg, the Malaysian ringgit went above the 3.8000 threshold again and that happened during last two weeks. Are we in for another financial crisis (again)? What is your opinion? Trying to connect the dots. The local note was also traded lower against other major currencies except the Euro (refers to the graph) during the one year snapshot. At the closing last Friday (24 July 2015), the Interbank Foreign Exchange Market in Kuala Lumpur recorded 3.8080/3.8100 .

This is your opportunity to invest in Penang. Apparently with current scenario, foreigners might want to invest their hard earned money here. Malaysia has initiated her Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) program with various incentives. MM2Home | MM2H Forum Expat Malaysia| MM2H requirements | MM2H newsRecently a group of 6,000 tourists from China under their company trips made their way to Penang and Langkawi Island.
