Method & notes
The long-run series makes major currency episodes visible while avoiding claims about why any specific move happened.
METHOD & LIMITATIONSAnnual view derived from BNM monthly-average reference rates.
PulseKita calculates a simple arithmetic mean of BNM's published monthly-average 1200 middle rates for USD in each calendar year. A higher number means more ringgit are required for one US dollar; a lower number means fewer.
- The current year is year-to-date when fewer than twelve monthly observations are available.
- This is an annualised view of official BNM reference rates, not an intraday trading series.
- A higher MYR-per-USD value indicates ringgit depreciation against the US dollar; a lower value indicates appreciation.
