The article offers a forecast for the Malaysian ringgit in 2008 and 2009. The authors predict an ascent in the ringgit against the U.S. dollar by the end of the said periods underpinned by robust economic growth and account surplus. They cite the potential reintroduction of offshore trading in the ringgit due to strong balance of payments performance in 2008. They believe that the ringgit will be affected by a reduction in interest rates by Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM).  Source Emerging Markets Monitor; 4/21/2008, Vol. 14 Issue 3, p10-10, 1p.  Author: Emerging Markets Monitor.
