The Malaysian Ministry of Finance said the ringgit has become Asia's top-performing currency against the dollar due to coordinated government and central bank actions since February 2024. The ringgit traded at 4.6642 on July 17, against a 2024 low of 4.7987.
Policy-driven ringgit stability reduces currency volatility for Malaysian palm oil exporters, with limited direct effect on global feed commodity prices.
