		The ringgit has been tied to the US dollar since 1998 when, during the Asian financial crisis, then Malaysian prime minister Mahathir Mohamad ended the currency's free float and fixed its value at 3.8 to the dollar.

	ECONOMIC REVIEW- Re-peg the Ringgit?
		The ringgit was pegged against the US dollar in September 1998 in response to the ringgit’s volatility and gross misalignment due to market failures.
		The main objective of the ringgit peg is to ensure exchange rate stability and insulate the economy from continued instability in the foreign exchange markets.
		The suggestions for ringgit re-pegging also rose from the perceived misalignment of the ringgit from some of the regional currencies such as the Thai baht, the South Korean won, and the Singapore dollar.

		Their incentive is the Malaysian ringgit, which has been fixed at RM3.80 to the US dollar since 1998 in the aftermath of the Asian currency crisis, and is widely perceived as undervalued today.
		Pundits believe that US dollar weakness is the key that may unlock the peg sometime in 2005, probably in the second half of the year, and that the peg may be replaced with a more flexible 'managed float system' that allows for government intervention to keep the currency at desired levels.
		A stronger ringgit would reduce import bills, improve the Government's fiscal position by slashing the debt burden, which is about 70% US dollar denominated, and keep a lid on inflation.

		The ringgit has since depreciated by some 34%, the stock market by about ten percentage points more, whereas growth threatens to slump to levels unheard of in nearly a decade.
		In retrospect, the 34% depreciation of the ringgit was not inevitable.
