Feasibility Assessment on Forecast-Based Action in the Republic of the Union of Myanmar
FEASIBILITY ASSESSMENT ON FORECAST-BASED ACTION IN THE REPUBLIC OF THE UNION OF MYANMAR ပြည်ထ ောင်စု သ搹မတ ပ搹န်搹ောန ုင်ငံထတော်တွင် လုြ်ထောင်န ုင်ထသော လုြ်ထ ောင်ချက်搹ျောျားအတွက်ပြစ်န ုင်ထချရ ထသော န်ျားစစ်搹搹ျော Karoliina Pilli-Sihvola; Finnish Red Cross Tuuli Laitila; Finnish Red Cross Moe Thida Win, Myanmar Red Cross Society October 2020 i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Introduction 1. Myanmar is exposed and vulnerable to various hydro-meteorological hazards which cause serious humanitarian impacts and consequences. To reduce the loss and damage from the hazards requires a shift from disaster response toward forecast based early actions, including innovative instruments, such as the use of Shock Responsive Social Protection measures to increase the resilience of people and communities. 2. Anticipatory Action, that is Forecast-based Action (FbA), Forecast-based Financing (FbF) and Early Warning Early Action (EWEA) are all initiatives which aim at using weather, climate and impact-based forecasts to trigger actions which reduce the loss and damage from hazards. For clarification, this report uses the term Forecast-based Action to describe the initiatives. 3. In Myanmar, the development of an FbA system is on-going as part of the European Union funded project “Scaling up Forecast based Financing/Early Warning Early Action (FbF/EWEA) and Shock Responsive Social Protection (SRSP) with innovative use of climate risk information for disaster resilience in ASEAN”. The project is led by UN FAO, and the consortium includes UNICEF, WFP and the German Red Cross. This project is complemented by various other projects implemented by the project consortium partners. 4. This report presents recommendations for the development of a sustainable FbA system in Myanmar based on a feasibility assessment. -

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. -
