  • Business Conglomerates in the Context of Myanmar's Economic
    Chapter 6 Business Conglomerates in the Context of Myanmar’s Economic Reform Aung Min and Toshihiro Kudo Abstract The purpose of this paper is to identify the role of conglomerates in the context of Myanmar’s economic reform process. The paper addresses the research question of the role of business conglomerates and the Myanmar economy, such as are they growth engines or just political cronies? We select some of the top conglomerates in Myanmar and assess their profile, performance, and strategies and examine the sources of growth and limitations for future growth and prospects. The top groups chosen for this paper are Htoo, Kanbawza, Max, Asia World, IGE, Shwe Taung, Serge Pun Associates (SPA)/First Myanmar Investment Group of Companies (FMI), Loi Hein, IBTC, Myanmar Economic Corporation (MEC), and Union of Myanmar Economic Holdings Ltd. (UMEHL). There are other local conglomerates that this paper does not address and they include Shwe Than Lwin Group, Eden Group, Capital and Dagon International etc., which are suggested for further research about Myanmar’s conglomerates in the future. Sources of growth and key success factors of the top business groups are their connection with government, contact with foreign partners, and their competency in the past and present. In the context of the economic reform, previously favored business people appear to recognize that the risks of challenging economic reform could outweigh the likely benefits. In addition, some of the founders and top management of the conglomerates are still subject to US sanctions. Market openness, media monitoring, competition by local and foreign players, sanctions, and the changing trends of policy and the economy limit the growth of conglomerates.

It gives me great pleasure to report that 2015-2016 financial year was another year of excellent progress and growth for Max Myanmar. From our company’s inception in 1993, each subsidiary of Max Myanmar has been continuously delivering greater services to our stakeholders. We are always striving hard to increase our core values of the goodwill to the people in general and the local com- munity in particular, pursuing excellence, embracing changes, acting with integrity and laying strong foundation for the future success of Myanmar. With an ambitious and a vibrant restructuring pro- gram, we have strived to transform ourselves into a Group of Companies with international practices. It has been another strong year of record result for Max Myanmar Group as we continue to execute our strategy, with revenue from core operations in 2015-16 increasing to USD 210.67 million. This is an exceptional achievement contributing by the opening of Novotel Yangon Max Hotel in April 2015. Max Hotels Group has the highest gross profit among the Max Myanmar Group entities at c.64%, which is attributable to higher occupancy rate arising from the opening of Novotel Yangon Hotel and income from outlet space rental in Novotel.

  • Burma's Political Prisoners and U.S. Policy
    Burma’s Political Prisoners and U.S. Policy Updated January 4, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R44804 Burma’s Political Prisoners and U.S. Policy Summary Despite a campaign pledge in 2015 that they “would not arrest anyone as political prisoners,” Aung San Suu Kyi and the National League for Democracy (NLD) have failed to fulfil this promise since they took control of Burma’s Union Parliament and the government’s executive branch in April 2016. While presidential pardons have been granted for some political prisoners, people continue to be arrested, detained, tried, and imprisoned for political reasons. According to the Assistance Association of Political Prisoners (Burma), or AAPP(B), a Thailand-based, nonprofit human rights organization formed in 2000 by former Burmese political prisoners, there were 590 “individuals oppressed due to political activity”—including 35 sentenced to prison—as of the end of November 2020. During its five years in power, the NLD government has provided pardons for Burma’s political prisoners on seven occasions. The latest was on April 17, 2020, when President Win Myint pardoned nearly 25,000 prisoners, of which 10 were considered political prisoners by AAPP(B). Aung San Suu Kyi and her government, as well as the Burmese military, however, also have demonstrated a willingness to use Burma’s laws to suppress the opinions of their political opponents and restrict press freedoms. In April 2020, several reporters were charged under Article 50 (a) and Article 52 (a) of the 2014 Counter-Terrorism Law for publishing interviews with representatives of the Arakan Army, an ethnic armed organization that the NLD government has officially declared a terrorist group.
