About Singapore Dollar (S$)
The Singapore Dollar (SGD, ISO 4217 code 702, symbol S$) is the official currency of the Republic of Singapore and is interchangeable with the Brunei Dollar (BND) under the Currency Interchangeability Agreement of 1967 (both nations accept each other's currency at par for transactions). Issued by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS, est. 1971). Subdivided into 100 cents. Banknotes are polymer (since 2007): S$2, S$5, S$10, S$50, S$100, S$1000, S$10000 (the S$10,000 note — featuring the late President Yusof bin Ishak — was the world's highest-denomination banknote until withdrawn from issuance in 2014); coins: 5¢, 10¢, 20¢, 50¢, S$1. MAS uses an unusual monetary policy framework — it manages SGD against a trade-weighted basket of currencies (the 'NEER policy band') rather than setting interest rates directly. Singapore is the world's 3rd-largest FX trading center after London and New York per BIS Triennial Survey 2022 (~9% of global FX turnover).
About Malaysian Ringgit (RM)
The Malaysian Ringgit (MYR, ISO 4217 code 458, symbol RM; historically 'Malaysian Dollar' until 1975) is the official currency of Malaysia, issued by Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM, est. 1959). Subdivided into 100 sen. Banknotes: RM1, RM5, RM10, RM20, RM50, RM100 (current series features King Tuanku Abdul Rahman portrait, traditional kites/wau, and Malaysian flora/fauna); coins: 5 sen, 10 sen, 20 sen, 50 sen (1 sen withdrawn from common circulation 2008). MYR was pegged to USD at RM3.80 per USD from September 1998 to July 2005 following the Asian Financial Crisis (Malaysia famously rejected IMF assistance and imposed capital controls under Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad). Since 2005 the ringgit floats against a basket. Malaysia is the world's 2nd-largest palm oil producer (after Indonesia), a major LNG exporter, and home to a significant Islamic-finance industry (the Kuala Lumpur stock exchange Bursa Malaysia and the Labuan IBFC offshore center). BNM targets price stability + sustainable economic growth.
