BANGKOK: The Department of Foreign Trade has reported positive news, saying the Central Bank of Myanmar has reduced the proportion of export earnings that must be converted into kyat to 15%, from 25%—changing the ratio from 75:25 to 85:15—effective Jan 1, 2026.
The move should allow exporters to manage their export income more flexibly, reduce pressure from having to convert a larger share at the official rate, and support business liquidity.
