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Abdul Rahman portrait, traditional kites/wau, and Malaysian flora/fauna); coins: 5 sen, 10 sen, 20 sen, 50 sen (1 sen withdrawn from common circulation 2008).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

About Myanmar Kyat (K)

The Myanmar Kyat (MMK, ISO 4217 code 104, symbol K) is the official currency of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar (Burma), issued by the Central Bank of Myanmar (CBM, est. 1948). Subdivided into 100 pya (no longer in physical circulation). Banknotes: K50, K100, K200, K500, K1,000, K5,000, K10,000 (the highest denomination, introduced 2012; current series features Aung San โ€” the founding father of modern Burma โ€” portrait and the Bogyoke Aung San Park Lion statue, the Royal Palace of Mandalay, and other Myanmar landmarks); coins: K1, K5, K10, K50, K100 (rarely used in practice โ€” modern Myanmar transactions are predominantly in banknotes due to long-term inflation effects on coin values). The kyat was introduced 1952 (replacing the Burmese rupee). Myanmar has experienced repeated military rule including the February 1, 2021 coup that ousted the elected NLD government of State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi and President Win Myint. Following the coup, MMK has been highly volatile, with multiple parallel exchange rates and capital controls. The country is a major producer of rubies, sapphires, jade (the world's leading source of imperial jade), teak hardwood, and natural gas. International sanctions limit MMK convertibility.
