malaysia bankrupt... bnm wanna make life difficult for money outflows
bnm also just relaxed rule on companies holding fx account for international trade... looks like we gonna print more myr... I'm just speculating here... I dunno anything about economics

The country is not bankrupt but the government is due to a lot of debts and bond issuances
BNM won’t start printing more money because their 1st defensive mechanism to issue more bonds but will be soon useless because the bond ratings are dropping to B soon to be C grade
The other defensive mechanism is the OPR which will be disaster if they start lowering to 1.5% or below which is highly likely depending on RM movements
The last mechanism would be start printing money and devalue and dilute currency if the RM hits below 4 and getting stronger because Malaysia export oriented cheap labor economies
Either way RM is dead and won’t be go back to glory days in 1995 because useless government and BNM in place at the moment who has no idea on how to stimulate the economy
You will see JPY and SGD will at least appreciate against RM even with the weak sentiments in the respective countries
SGD will be soon 3.20 and JPY will be 3.50 anytime soon
