About Bangladeshi Taka ()

The Bangladeshi Taka (BDT, ISO 4217 code 050, symbol ৳) is the official currency of the People's Republic of Bangladesh, issued by Bangladesh Bank (BB, est. 1971). Subdivided into 100 poisha (no longer in widespread use). Banknotes: ৳2, ৳5, ৳10, ৳20, ৳50, ৳100, ৳200 (introduced 2020 commemorating Mujib Year — the 100th birth anniversary of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, founding father of Bangladesh), ৳500, ৳1,000 (the highest denomination; current series features Sheikh Mujibur Rahman portrait and Bangladeshi cultural/historical themes); coins: ৳1, ৳2, ৳5. Bangladesh is the world's 8th-most-populous country (~170 million) and the 35th-largest economy by nominal GDP (~$460B in 2024 per IMF WEO). The economy is dominated by ready-made garments — Bangladesh is the world's #2 RMG exporter after China (~$45B/year, ~84% of total exports), supplying H&M, Walmart, Zara, Levi's, Gap, Target, and most major Western brands. Other major exports: leather goods, frozen fish/shrimp, jute. BB targets 5.5% CPI inflation. The taka was pegged to USD until 2003, then transitioned to a managed-float regime. Inflation reached 9-10% in 2022-2023 amid Russia-Ukraine commodity-price shock.

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Abdul Rahman portrait, traditional kites/wau, and Malaysian flora/fauna); coins: 5 sen, 10 sen, 20 sen, 50 sen (1 sen withdrawn from common circulation 2008).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.
