Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) said on Saturday (March 16) that search engine giant Google once again misreported its exchange rate on Friday, and the ringgit's exchange rate against the US dollar was once again undervalued. The bank asked Google for an explanation.
This is not the first time that Google has incorrectly reported Malaysia’s exchange rate, and such errors could have a negative impact on Malaysia’s economy. BNM hopes that Google will recognize the seriousness of this problem and take appropriate measures to avoid similar situations from happening again.
The exchange rate is one of the important indicators of the national economy. Any erroneous reports on the exchange rate may lead to market confusion and mislead investors. BNM reiterates the importance of currency accuracy and will continue to monitor currency reporting by companies such as Google.
As one of the world's largest search engine companies, Google should take more responsibility for its currency reporting. BNM hopes that Google can actively respond to this incident and ensure that similar errors do not occur in the future.
