Clarity of government policy helps attract investment, strengthen value of ringgit - PM


KUALA LUMPUR: The clarity of policies, including for the Madani economy, the National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR) and the New Industrial Master Plan 2030 (NIMP 2030), can help in attracting investments and strengthening the value of the ringgit, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

He said the ringgit's performance this year was largely driven by external factors such as the sharp strengthening of the US dollar that has been driven by higher US interest rates, as well as China's weaker-than-expected economic conditions.
