The ringgit is likely to remain weak next week amid global uncertainty and continuous concerns over the Euro zone debt crisis, dealers said.
The sluggish world economy turned investors towards safe-haven assets and curbed interest for riskier currencies.
"We expect local currencies to fall across the Asian space, reflecting the effect from China's slowdown and Europe's economic crisis," said a dealer, adding that investors would continue to monitor two major events - the Greek election and resolution of Spain's banking system.
On a Friday-to-Friday basis, the ringgit was traded lower against the US dollar at 3.1920/1940 from 3.1510/1550 last Friday.
It fell against the Singapore dollar to 2.4712/4743 from 2.4619/4670 last Friday and was lower against the yen at 4.0817/0866 from 3.9575/9641 previously.
The local unit appreciated against the British pound to 4.8792/8848 from last week's 4.9335/9407 and rose against the euro to 3.9373/9423 from 3.9627/9690 previously.
