About British Pound (£)
The British Pound Sterling (GBP, ISO 4217 code 826) is the official currency of the United Kingdom, issued by the Bank of England (est. 1694, the world's oldest continuously operating central bank). Subdivided into 100 pence (singular: penny). Banknotes: £5, £10, £20, £50 (the King Charles III series replacing Queen Elizabeth II portraits June 2024); coins: 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p, 50p, £1, £2. GBP is the world's oldest currency still in continuous use (origins traced to 760 CE Anglo-Saxon silver penny). Also de facto used in the Crown Dependencies (Jersey, Guernsey, Isle of Man — which issue their own GBP-pegged notes), the British Overseas Territories (Gibraltar, Falklands, Saint Helena — also with locally issued GBP-pegged notes), and historically across the Sterling Area. The Bank of England targets 2% CPI inflation per the Bank of England Act 1998 + HMT remit letter. GBP is the world's 4th-largest reserve currency (~5% of global FX reserves per IMF COFER 2024).
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Abdul Rahman portrait, traditional kites/wau, and Malaysian flora/fauna); coins: 5 sen, 10 sen, 20 sen, 50 sen (1 sen withdrawn from common circulation 2008).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.
