MKD

MKD is an acronym and code used in standardized coding systems as well as in other contexts. In international data and documentation, MKD most commonly appears as a three-letter identifier tied to North Macedonia and its currency.

In ISO country codes, MKD is the ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 code for the Republic of North Macedonia. The code is used in data exchanges, shipping, sports competition records, and other contexts where a concise national identifier is needed. Since the country’s official name change discussions, MKD remains in use in many historical datasets and in standards that have not yet updated to the newer naming conventions.

As a currency code, MKD stands for the Macedonian denar, the official currency of North Macedonia. The denar is issued by the National Bank of the Republic of North Macedonia and is used for pricing, banking, and monetary transactions within the country. The MKD code is part of the ISO 4217 standard for currency designations.

Beyond these standardized meanings, MKD can function as an acronym in other domains, where its interpretation is context-dependent and not standardized. When encountered outside ISO country or currency contexts, the meaning of MKD should be inferred from the surrounding information or clarified to avoid ambiguity.
