THE Central Bank of My­anmar (CBM) pumped over US$51 million and 1.2 mil­lion baht into the foreign ex­change market in May.

CBM injected over $35 million, 34 million baht and over three million yuan in the foreign exchange market in February and over $43 mil­lion, 65 million baht and over four million yuan in January 2026.

 

CBM has injected foreign currencies into the foreign ex­change market and the edible oil and fuel oil import sector, with a view to curbing the instability in the foreign ex­change market and currency devaluation and maintaining market stability. According to CBM’s notification on 15 March 2024, it has been col­laborating with law enforce­ment agencies to combat and prosecute those who attempt to manipulate the currency market under the existing laws. CBM allowed authorized dealers (private banks) to op­erate online foreign exchange trading freely as per the mar­ket rate, depending on supply and demand, starting from 5 December 2023. — NN/KK
