Multilayer ceramic electronic component

A multilayer ceramic electronic component comprising:

• a multilayer body including a plurality of stacked ceramic layers, a plurality of internal conductive layers stacked on the ceramic layers, a first main surface and a second main surface opposing each other in a height direction, a first side surface and a second side surface opposing each other in a width direction perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the height direction, and a first end surface and a second end surface opposing each other in a length direction perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the height direction and the width direction;
• and
• external electrodes, each connected to the internal conductive layers;
• wherein
• the internal conductive layers each include a plurality of holes, each having a different area equivalent diameter;
• and
• when an area equivalent diameter in which a cumulative value in a cumulative distribution of area equivalent diameters of the plurality of holes existing in each of the internal conductive layers becomes about 99% is defined as an area equivalent diameter D99, the area equivalent diameter D99 is about 8.0 μm or less.
