USD to MMK Exchange Rate History — Myanmar
Over the past 90 days, the USD to Burmese Kyat parallel (black market) rate moved from about 4,555 MMK on Oct 19, 2026 to 4,580 MMK on Oct 19, 2026 — a change of +0.6%. Across that window the Burmese Kyat held broadly steady against the dollar, trading between a low of 4,555 and a high of 4,581 MMK, averaging 4,569 MMK per US dollar.
Since the 2021 coup, Myanmar's kyat has traded far weaker on the street than the central bank's reference rate.
How to read the MMK rate history
The chart plots the parallel buy rate — how many MMK it took to buy one US dollar — at each point we recorded. The daily table below lists the closing buy and sell rate for each day, while the monthly table summarises the average, high and low for each month, which is useful for comparing one period with another.
A rising line means the Burmese Kyat is losing value (more MMK per dollar); a falling line means it is gaining. Over this window the spread between the high (4,581) and the low (4,555) shows how volatile the market has been — here, roughly 0.1% around the average.
What has moved the Burmese Kyat recently?
In Myanmar, the parallel rate is driven by factors such as post-coup instability, capital controls, foreign-exchange shortages. When dollars become scarcer or confidence falls, the street rate climbs ahead of the official Central Bank of Myanmar (CBM) rate; when supply improves or policy tightens, the gap can narrow again.
Because the parallel rate often moves before official devaluations, its history is a useful early-warning record — a steadily rising trend frequently precedes an official adjustment, while a long plateau suggests relative stability.
Using historical MMK rates
Historical rates help with budgeting, invoicing, remittance planning and spotting trends, but they are not a forecast — past movements do not guarantee future ones. For the live rate, see our main USD to MMK page, and use the converter for exact amounts.
