Ringgit Hits 2025 Peak at RM4.1150 – Now Asia’s Strongest Currency

KUALA LUMPUR: The ringgit strengthened to RM4.1150 against the US dollar on 5 December 2025 — its best level this year and crowning it Asia’s top-performing currency with an 8% gain.

The rally is driven by robust Malaysian fundamentals, weakening US dollar after Federal Reserve rate cuts, and surging foreign inflows.

Ringgit at PEAK

Foreign investors have poured nearly RM16.52 billion into Malaysian bonds this year, boosting confidence and demand for the ringgit.

Lower US rates reduce global dollar demand, pushing capital toward high-yielding emerging markets like Malaysia, which now looks safer than politically risky regional peers.

While short-term momentum remains strong from bond inflows, Norliza cautioned the trend could reverse if global sentiment sours. Photo: Bernama
