# Ringgit hits three-year high against Singdollar, four-year high versus greenback

> The ringgit hit a three-year high against the Singapore dollar and a four-year high against the dollar in the week of Dec 12. Gains were attributed to optimism about Malaysia's economy, including October industrial output growth of 6%, and to easing trade tensions. A Maybank strategist expects the dollar-ringgit rate to fall to about 4.0 by mid-2026.
