PETALING JAYA: The ringgit is expected to average RM4.05 against the US dollar in 2021 and 2022 from RM4.15 previously, according to Fitch Solutions’ latest forecast.
It pointed out that the ringgit has extended its rally on the back of persistent US dollar weakness as well as the reopening of the economy to average RM4.20 against the dollar for 2020.
As of Jan 5, 2021, the Malaysian currency has strengthened 2.5% to trade at RM4.009/US$.
“While this is broadly in line with our view for the ringgit to start 2021 at a much stronger level compared to 2020, the extent of its strength has exceeded our expectations,” said the research arm of Fitch Ratings.
HARARE (Bloomberg) Zimbabwe’s dollar shortage is getting worse, but the central bank is going to try to do something about it.
The regulator will inject $500 million into the foreign-exchange market on Monday, it tweeted over the weekend, a move Governor John Mangudya said would “go a long way to stabilize the exchange rates and prices of goods and services.” The money is from “international banks,” Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube said in a separate tweet, without naming them.
The central bank is intervening after the southern African nation’s currency plunged on the black market last week, and the price of goods soared at the fastest pace in more than a decade. Local investors have been piling into the stock market to hedge against inflation that climbed above 75% in April.
