Myanmar central bank injects $30M into fuel oil sector

ByEnigma 808

Myanmar’s Central Bank allocated 30 million dollars to the fuel oil sector on November 8 while simultaneously transferring 698,900 dollars to edible oil importers that same day. The monetary authority has maintained steady foreign currency interventions throughout early November, including sales of 2.37 million dollars on November 6 and 2.44 million dollars on November 5 to cooking oil companies.

During October, the institution injected over 2.48 million dollars alongside 5.75 million yuan and 4.98 million baht while selling more than 54 million dollars obtained from CMP firms. These transactions represent ongoing efforts to stabilize exchange rates and prevent currency depreciation.

The Central Bank has partnered with law enforcement agencies since March 2024 to prosecute market manipulation under existing statutes. Licensed private banks have operated online foreign exchange platforms based on supply and demand dynamics since December 2023.
