GUIDES

Reading Myanmar market prices

Last updated: 27 October 2026

Gold and currency prices in Myanmar are quoted in a way that is not obvious from the numbers alone. These guides explain what each figure means, where it comes from, and how to check one before you trade — in plain language, without padding.

Guides

• How to read Myanmar gold prices

  What a ပဲရည် is, why the price is per tical, the difference between စနစ်ဟောင်း and စနစ်သစ်, why the shop price is not the world price, and how to spot a dropped zero before you act on a figure.

• How to read Myanmar exchange rates

  Why the market rate, the bank counter rate and the central bank reference rate all exist at once, what ဝယ် and ရောင်း mean, why a P2P price is not a street price, and what the change column is actually comparing against.

About these guides

Everything here is written by the people who run the board, from the same sources the board publishes. We do not rewrite other sites' articles, and we do not publish numbers we cannot trace to a source we can name. When a price on the board changes, these guides are updated so the explanation keeps matching what you see.

None of this is financial advice. For the reasoning behind which prices we publish and which we refuse to, see About & our sources. If something here is wrong or out of date, please tell us at info@mmktoday.com or use the contact page.
