Converting from Turkish Lira (TRY) to Macedonian Denar (MKD)

What is Turkish Lira (TRY)

The Turkish Lira (TRY) is the official currency of Turkey and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. The symbol for the Lira is ₺, which was introduced in 2012 to represent the new Turkish Lira, replacing the old Lira that was subject to severe inflation. One of the unique features of the Lira's history is its frequent devaluation, leading to periods of high inflation.

The Lira is subdivided into 100 kuruş. It is mainly used for daily transactions withinTurkey and is also recognized in some neighboring regions. The Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey (CBRT) controls the monetary policy, aiming to stabilize the economy and manage inflation rates, which can significantly impact the exchange rates against other currencies.

Exchange rates for the Lira can be volatile due to various factors, including political developments, economic performance, and global market trends. Therefore, keeping an eye on financial news is important for individuals and businesses that deal with this currency.

What is Macedonian Denar (MKD)

The Macedonian Denar (MKD) is the official currency of North Macedonia. The currency symbol is ден, often abbreviated as MKD. It was introduced in 1992, replacing the Macedonian dinar which was in use during the period of the Yugoslav Federation. The Denar is subdivided into 100 deni, although lower denominations are not commonly used due to their minimal value.

The National Bank of the Republic of North Macedonia (NBRNM) is responsible for the issuance and regulation of the Denar. The bank aims to maintain price stability and regulate inflation, which directly affects the Denar's purchasing power and exchange rates.

The Denar has a pegged exchange rate to the Euro, which helps stabilize its value against major currencies. This peg has contributed to lower inflation rates compared to many neighboring countries, therefore making the Denar a more stable currency in the Balkans region.
