It is free open market.. Why need to intervene the currency uptrend / downtrend ? Weaker currency makes competitive exports, good tourism business and increase ppls saving in bank, as other than basic necessities needs spending in life, ppls will hold purchasing import items that not important(luxury, or demand based needs) ?

Yeah, very informative with many currencies dropped against strengthening greenback.. Many countries are in currency war to depreciate their currencies, to boost competitive EXPORTS and tourism. Thanks for the great information, that linked it to strengthening greenback with 1st interest rate hike by USA FED soon.

Friend, you reference to USD and reference to MYR will be similar lah. Ie. you convert RM to USD, then USD to that particular currency. The result is similar (although not exact to the dot)

Anyway, here it is. Although I feel stupid to table it out  doh.gif  But I know you are sincere, so I do it for you  tongue.gif

MYR/USD -31.8%
MYR/HKD -31.8%
MYR/RMB -26.9%
MYR/GBP -25.1%
MYR/TWD -21.0%
MYR/THB -18.1%
MYR/SGD -17.1%
MYR/JPY -12.3%
MYR/KRW -12.5%
MYR/Eur -12.6%
MYR/IDR -10.7%
MYR/CAD -10.3%
MYR/NZD -4.5%
MYR/AUD -3.6%
MYR/RUB +45.1% (bloomberg no MYR/RUB quote. I use USD as reference point)

In this moment while RM is drop badly, should we make support action such as buying gold as saving?

RM1000 still RM1000 next year but that amount still not equal to current amount to buy anything.

Buy RM1000 gold and sell it later to gain money can get it much higher to survive later.

This is just my opinion and really welcome any comment about it.

There is nothing to "proud" of winning the currency war (depreciate the most), as it may only makes public poorer only and may suffer due to inflation.

Winning currency war by depreciating currency is like slashing your selling price so that you can win more business, but at the expense of inflation, wealth value shrinking and lower purchasing power.

Current per capital income is around 33K, at exchange rate USD3.3, it means USD 10K, which can buy 33.3 Iphone (assumed iphone price is USD300)

Now at 4.16 rate, per capital income becomes USD7.9k, and now only can buy 26.3 Iphone.

From here we can see purchasing power has become lower already.
With the same wages, the lesser goods can be bought.

The ultimate goal of economy growth is for everyone to be better off in term of improving purchasing power, not suffer.

No one can forever rely on devalued currency to get more business, as in the end of the day, it will hurt your purchasing power only.
Just like you opens a shop and in order to get more business compared to competitor, you keep on slashing price, until one day, it will hurt your bottom line (no more profit), and business will suffer.

There must be a balance in between, too low no good, too high also no good.

Is it true that MYR is now labelled as POA?

What is POA?

hmm.gif

poa = price on application.

there is a snapshot of a money exchanger board showing the rm as "poa".

will not bother to post here.

but possibly it was somewhere in south africa where the rand lost 21% against usd in 1 yr vs 31.8% for rm.

so, maybe can say south africa lost to msia in global currency war, surrender with "poa"?! laugh.gif
