MMK

MMK is the ISO 4217 currency code for the Burmese Kyat, the official currency of Myanmar. The Kyat is issued by the Central Bank of Myanmar and is used for most monetary transactions within the country. It is subdivided into 100 pyas, a subdivision historically used in Myanmar, though small-denomination notes and coins circulate to support everyday transactions.

The MMK has experienced volatility and policy changes as Myanmar’s economy has evolved. Exchange rates are influenced by government policy, market demand, and broader economic conditions, and official rates may differ from those observed in informal or parallel markets. The Central Bank of Myanmar has implemented various reforms over time to liberalize currency controls and improve monetary management, with ongoing changes affecting pricing, payments, and liquidity in the financial system.

Beyond its primary meaning as a currency code, MMK can function as an acronym in different contexts, representing various organizations, programs, or terms depending on the field or region. Without context, the exact meaning of MMK in these cases remains uncertain.
