USD to MMK Exchange Rate History — Myanmar
This page charts the historical USD to Burmese Kyat (MMK) parallel — or "black market" — exchange rate in Myanmar. As new readings are collected they appear in the chart and tables below, building a record of how the street price of the dollar has moved over time.
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.
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.
