  • 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.

  • Military Brotherhood Between Thailand and Myanmar: from Ruling to Governing the Borderlands
    1 Military Brotherhood between Thailand and Myanmar: From Ruling to Governing the Borderlands Naruemon Thabchumphon, Carl Middleton, Zaw Aung, Surada Chundasutathanakul, and Fransiskus Adrian Tarmedi1, 2 Paper presented at the 4th Conference of the Asian Borderlands Research Network conference “Activated Borders: Re-openings, Ruptures and Relationships”, 8-10 December 2014 Southeast Asia Research Centre, City University of Hong Kong 1. Introduction Signaling a new phase of cooperation between Thailand and Myanmar, on 9 October 2014, Thailand’s new Prime Minister, General Prayuth Chan-o-cha took a two-day trip to Myanmar where he met with high-ranked officials in the capital Nay Pi Taw, including President Thein Sein. That this was Prime Minister Prayuth’s first overseas visit since becoming Prime Minister underscored the significance of Thailand’s relationship with Myanmar. During their meeting, Prime Minister Prayuth and President Thein Sein agreed to better regulate border areas and deepen their cooperation on border related issues, including on illicit drugs, formal and illegal migrant labor, including how to more efficiently regulate labor and make Myanmar migrant registration processes more efficient in Thailand, human trafficking, and plans to develop economic zones along border areas – for example, in Mae 3 Sot district of Tak province - to boost trade, investment and create jobs in the areas . With a stated goal of facilitating border trade, 3 pairs of adjacent provinces were named as “sister provinces” under Memorandums of Understanding between Myanmar and Thailand signed by the respective Provincial governors during the trip.4 Sharing more than 2000 kilometer of border, both leaders reportedly understood these issues as “partnership matters for security and development” (Bangkok Post, 2014).

  • Myanmar's Important Position to Enhance Regional Connectivity
    Myanmar’s Important Position to Enhance Regional Connectivity TEXT Presentation at International Conference to Commemorate the 20th Anniversary of ASEAN-India Cooperation, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, 20-21 September 2012 Tin Htoo Naing Yangon institute of Economics Myanmar • The new government, in office since April 2011, has ushered in a new era for Myanmar. • It is the first democratically elected government to come to power through general elections in five decades. • The government has put in place measures to achieve positive changes in political, economic and social spheres in line with the market conditions and international circumstances. • The genuineness of the democratic reforms carried out by the new government is widely questioned. • Some observers generally accept that the reforms have been genuine and are likely to be irreversible, but believe that the rush to reform may possibly cause burnout in Myanmar because the financial, technical and managerial capacity of the government institutions and all stakeholders fall behind the pace of reforms. • In politics, although it cannot be said that political conflicts and struggles for democracy that have been locked in many years of stalemate have been resolved, cooperation on the common grounds has become a possibility based on the concept of unity in diversity. • In the ethnic affairs, negotiations have been carried out with almost all the nationality organisations that have been engaged in armed insurrection for decades and most of them have resulted in preliminary agreements and successes while some racial strife remain and delay the reform process. • In the economic sphere, development ideologies and strategies are also to be altered in accordance with the change of government system.

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.

Myanmar has a long territory stretching north to south, with the Irrawaddy River running through the heart of the country. While Burmese is the largest ethnic group in the country, the country has many ethnic minorities. Myanmar joined ASEAN on July 23, 1997, together with Laos. Due to the isolationist policy adopted by the military government led by Ne Win which continued until 1988, the economic development of Myanmar fell far behind other ASEAN countries. Today, Myanmar is a republic, and President Thein Sein is the head of state.
