MBSB IB to keep ringgit's average forecast around 4.00 vs US dollar in 2026

KUALA LUMPUR: MBSB Investment Bank Bhd (MBSB IB) is keeping its baseline forecast for the ringgit to continue to strengthen further against the US dollar, averaging in 2026 to around RM4.00 (2025: RM4.28). 

It said the primary driver for the ringgit's sustained appreciation bias is the expected narrowing of the United States (US)-Malaysia interest rate differential.
