Amir Hamzah added that the ringgit’s performance has improved recently due to positive economic developments, increasing foreign investment inflows, and movements in the United States’ interest rates.

“Alhamdulillah, the ringgit is still gaining strength and is gradually finding its true equilibrium,” he said, noting that the local currency had also strengthened against other major currencies in the region.

Today, the ringgit closed at 4.12 versus the US dollar, emerging as one of the top-performing currencies globally.
