Book excerpt: Myanmar, which is one of the 13 least developed countries (LDCs) in Asia and the Pacific, is relatively rich in natural resources, has young workforce, and is close to the world's most dynamic trading economies, including China and India. With an appropriate policy mix, improved business environment and a stable, but reformed political system, the country is expected to fulfill its considerable potential and move ahead with delivering on economic development. As Myanmar starts to rebuild its trade and investment links with the region and the global economy, policymakers and business leaders will need various data, information and advice from analysts and researchers to be able to make proper decisions. Unfortunately this will not be a straightforward process as macroeconomic, trade and investment data for the country are incomplete, and available data are not always reliable. Furthermore, because of the years of isolation imposed on Myanmar, the trade and investment flows recorded during those years do not necessarily reflect the flows that actually occurred, or the patterns of specialization and competitiveness that would have occurred without such isolation. This paper presents a picture of the country's trade and foreign direct investment (FDI) patterns in the past two decades and an introductory survey of selected policies that affect Myanmar's trade and FDI potential within its new political and macroeconomic framework. To provide more complete guidance on the integration of Myanmar's producers into the regional and world economies, a traditional trade competitiveness diagnostics study is necessary. Such an analysis will only be possible once more complete datasets have been compiled after some time of normal trade and investment relations.
Download or read book Financial Resources for Development in Myanmar written by Myat Thein and published by Institute of Southeast Asian Studies. This book was released on 2000 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much attention has been paid to the increasingly substantial inflows of foreign direct investment into Myanmar since the country opened its doors to overseas investors in late 1988. In addition to bringing capital in the form of cash, such investment has also introduced new technology, training and skills, business and management acumen, as well as various other inputs that Myanmar undoubtedly requires if the country is to develop. However, there is a growing realization that FDI inflows alone will not enable the country to meet the ambitious economic growth targets. As evidenced by the "Asian Tiger" economies, there is also a need for considerable amounts of domestic capital. and in order to attain substantial levels of domestic investment a system of domestic savings "vehicles" -- that the state and industry can harness -- must be developed. Hence, this volume seeks to examine ways in which domestic savings and investment capital can be encouraged and increased. The contributors include not only Myanmar economists and policy-makers but also experts from ASEAN and Japan who share their experiences.
Download or read book A Study on the Interrelationships Among Trade Foreign Direct Investment Human Capital Financial Development and Economic Growth in Myanmar written by Htut-Oo Thunt and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper analyzes the factors associated with economic growth in Myanmar by extending the Trade-FDI-led growth model with human capital and financial development through a Vector Error Correction Model (VECM). Vector Error Correction Model is a form of Vector Autoregressive, which has additional restrictions due to the existence of non-stationary but cointegrated data forms. VECM model conducts the long-term equations between the test variables at different degrees of integration and tests the Granger analysis for multi cointegration. The findings confirm that FDI has a positive effect on GDP per capita growth in the long-run, and financial development has a negative long-run effect on GDP per capita. In the short-run, FDI and exports positively affect GDP per capita growth while imports negatively affects GDP per capita. The Granger causality test revealed that human capital is positively interrelated with the export industry while exports and FDI enhance GDP per capita. Overall, Myanmar's economic growth appears as an export-FDI-led growth model. Therefore, export policy and foreign direct investment policy should be collectively promoted for economic growth in Myanmar.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Technical Assistance (TA) report on Myanmar presents outcomes and priority recommendations of mission on external sector statistics (ESS) for the Directorate of Investment and Company Administration (DICA). Intensive hands-on training provided to the DICA through peripatetic TA missions have effectively contributed to building up capacity for DICA compilers, which have gradually materialized and translated into successful foreign direct investment surveys (FDIS) conducted last year. Data coverage has significantly improved through inclusion of FDI in oil and gas sector, which is one of the largest FDI recipients for Myanmar. In order to further enhance the coverage of Myanmar’s FDI statistics, the mission advised the DICA to extend the coverage of FDIS to incorporate new companies and FDI in power generation sector. The mission also assisted DICA officials in updating the annual FDIS survey forms, making alterations to the previous year’s survey forms to capture additional information as requested by DICA management.

Download or read book The Contribution of Direct Foreign Investment and Interntional Trade on Economic Develoment in Myanmar written by Yee Yee Sein and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1962 to 1988, Myanmar had a socialist economy. Myanmar was slow to take up the issues of regional economic cooperation. Once considered one of the wealthiest South-East Asian countries, Myanmar's economic problems hit rock bottom in 1987. By the late 1980s, the Myanmar economy lowed down was due to the low productivity and inefficiency of state-owned enterprises, low levels of skill, and a shortage of capital and technology. In response to the severe economic crisis and domestic unrest, the State Law and Order Restoration Council (SLORC) took the reins of government in 1988 and embarked on a new course for the economy. SLORC reversed many of the socialist era policies and implemented several economic reforms, including new laws, regulations, operating methods, and reorganization of government agencies in an effort to utilize market principles to jumpstart the sluggish economy. This paper examines the role of trade policy regimes in conditioning the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) on growth performance in investment receiving (host) countries through a case study of Myanmar. The methodology involves estimating a growth equation, which provides for capturing the impact of FDI interactively with economic openness on economic growth, using data for the period 1980-2004. The results support the 'Bhagwati' hypothesis that, other things being equal, the growth impact of FDI tends to be greater under an export promotion (EP) trade regime compared to an import-substitution (IS) regime. Therefore, policy implications we can draw from our empirical results seem to be important. For Myanmar to benefit from the growth-enhancing effects of foreign direct investment, it should continue to liberalize its trade transaction. For Myanmar to benefit from technology transfer and spillover effects, FDI should be encouraged and it should be accompanied with trade openness. In an environment of trade restrictions, FDI inflows cannot be a catalyst for long run economic growth. The positive interactive impact of FDI and trade openness on economic growth would probably hold in Myanmar.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bestehende Analyseinstrumente zur Evaluation von politischem Risiko sind unbefriedigend für sogenannte "Frontier Markets", da die Instrumente ursprünglich für die Analyse des politischen Risikos in Industrienationen entwickelt wurden. Angesichts des Fehlens von numerischen Daten entwickelt diese Arbeit ein neues qualitatives Risikoanalyseinstrument um die politischen Risiken von Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in "Frontier Markets" bestimmen zu können. Das Instrument baut auf einen chronologischen Prozess auf (Risikoidentifizierung, -evaluation, -management). Diese Masterarbeit erarbeitet einen Katalog, der die verschiedenen, für "Frontier Markets" relevanten, Risikofaktoren enthält. In einem zweiten Teil wird das erstellte Risikoanalysetool dann am Fallbeispiel von Myanmar (Burma) getestet. Die wichtigsten identifizierten politischen Risiken für Unternehmen, die in Myanmars Gassektor tätig sein wollen, sind ethnische Konflikte, interreligiöse Unruhen, die Ungewissheit über die Resultate der politischen Reformen sowie die immer noch hohen bürokratischen Hürden. Die Anwendung am Fallbeispiel kommt zum Schluss, dass das entwickelte Instrument nützlich sein kann, da es die kausalen Verbindungen zwischen einzelnen Risikofaktoren aufzeichnet und einen geschriebenen Schlussbericht zuhanden der Entscheidungsträger erstellt.

Myanmar is studied as an investment frontier for other ASEAN countries. span, SPAN { background-color:inherit; text-decoration:inherit; white-space:pre-wrap } “The dynamic economies of Southeast Asia have historically been very large recipients of foreign direct investment (FDI). As global capital markets have opened up, and these economies have developed their technological and commercial capabilities, in more recent years Southeast Asia has emerged as a significant source of outward FDI both within the region and beyond. This important volume, by a group of leading regional scholars, offers a timely, comprehensive, accessible and authoritative analysis of this phenomenon.” -- Hal Hill, H.W.

This book was released on 2020-10-06 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the political and economic challenges facing Myanmar as it opens to the world? And what are the opportunities and responsibilities for the international community to influence and also invest in the country?This book aims to provide readers with an assessment that integrates analysis with on-the-ground experience and insights, drawn from closely engaging with Myanmar since the country began to move towards democracy and open to the world. In order for readers to appreciate emerging trends and developments, the book evaluates the efforts of the recent Thein Sein administration and current National League of Democracy government up to the present day. It also identifies key events from the colonial period through to the decades when the country was under military rule, cut off from much of the international community. The on-going crisis in Myanmar's Rakhine State and the controversial situation of the Rohingya are examined at length, with an effort to contextualise these events in wider challenges of geopolitics and national reforms to rehabilitate the government and the economy.The book presents readers with a clear view of how the country might progress beyond current obstacles, and highlights the opportunities that remain for those willing to engage constructively for the longer term in the opening of this frontier economy and once-pariah state. As Myanmar moves ahead with its transition to democracy and with economic development, this book is recommended for both those who watch the country with interest and those who consider the ways in which the international community interacts with the region and Myanmar.
