Malaysian Ringgit MYR forecasts for 2020

The ringgit is expected to weaken further in the coming months on the back of lower economic growth. Export-dependent Malaysia is expected to struggle amid tighter trade conditions brought on by the recent escalation in US-China trade tensions. Morgan Stanley said in May that USD/MYR would rise to or above RM4.22 before the end of September.

MYR in the markets

The Malaysian ringgit is up around 8% (to late November) against the US dollar since the beginning of the pandemic crisis in March and is gaining favour from bank commentators such as HSBC due to the attraction of the carry trade – the ability to earn higher interest when holding MYR versus other major currencies.
