The Manat has a large disparity between its official and black market rates, with the latter being roughly 21% of the official. This results in few institutions outside Turkmen Governmental control supporting the official rate. Although a few multinational companies support it too (such as British Airways), but generally only for purchases by Turkmen passport holders in the country itself. The black market is the sector of economic activity involving illegal economic dealings, typically the buying and selling of merchandise illegally. ...
