BANGKOK -- Myanmar's currency has been depreciating since the Feb. 1 coup, considerably increasing the prices of imported goods.
The value of the kyat against the U.S. dollar dropped 14% in the two months following the coup. While the price of gasoline jumped more than 20%, imported foodstuffs are also becoming expensive, leading to more strains on consumers.
