About Chinese Yuan (¥)

The Chinese Yuan Renminbi (CNY, ISO 4217 code 156, symbol ¥; also abbreviated RMB) is the official currency of the People's Republic of China, issued by the People's Bank of China (PBoC, est. 1948). 'Yuan' is the unit; 'Renminbi' is the currency's official name ('People's Currency'). Subdivided into 10 jiao or 100 fen. Banknotes: ¥1, ¥5, ¥10, ¥20, ¥50, ¥100 (Mao Zedong portrait on all denominations since 1999); coins: ¥0.10, ¥0.50, ¥1. Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan have separate currencies (HKD, MOP, TWD). CNY is a managed-float currency — PBoC sets a daily reference rate (the 'fix') against USD and allows ±2% intraday movement. CNY achieved Special Drawing Rights (SDR) inclusion October 2016 (10.92% weighting, replacing portions of EUR + GBP weight). CNY is the world's 5th-largest reserve currency (~2.4% of global FX reserves per IMF COFER 2024) but use is constrained by capital controls. PBoC's e-CNY (Digital Currency Electronic Payment, DC/EP) CBDC has the world's largest CBDC user base (~260M wallets).

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Abdul Rahman portrait, traditional kites/wau, and Malaysian flora/fauna); coins: 5 sen, 10 sen, 20 sen, 50 sen (1 sen withdrawn from common circulation 2008).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