Time: 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM Venue: Main Auditorium A Private Sector Perspective – Attracting Foreign Investments to Myanmar Myanmar’s recent transition out of five decades of economic and political isolation provides an opportunity for the country to secure much needed investment to build basic infrastructure for its citizens and facilitate growth in its fast-growing sectors. Such projects will require massive amounts of capital and specialised expertise, and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) will be an important source of capital, technology and knowledge in these endeavours.

  • Oecd Investment Policy Reviews: Myanmar 2020 © Oecd 2020
    OECD Investment Policy Reviews MYANMAR 2020 Only six years sets this second OECD Investment Policy Reviews: Myanmar apart from the fi rst review OECD Investment Policy Reviews published in 2014, but much progress has occurred in investment policies and related areas in Myanmar in the interim. Nonetheless, the reform momentum needs to be sustained and deepened for the benefi ts of recent investment climate reforms to be shared widely and for growth to be environmentally sustainable, ultimately contributing toward the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This second review takes stock MYANMAR 2020 of recent achievements and assesses remaining challenges in selected policy areas for nurturing an enabling responsible business environment and ensuring benefi ts are shared with society at large. It places strong emphasis on impact and on how foreign investment can help Myanmar achieve the SDGs and improve the lives of the people of Myanmar. HIGHLIGHTS MAY 3 Preface by His Excellency U Thaung Tun, Minister of Investment and Foreign Economic Relations, Republic of the Union of Myanmar and Mr. Masamichi Kono, Deputy Secretary-General, OECD In the past decade, Myanmar has implemented major economic and political reforms to gradually open its economy and to build sustainable private sector-led growth, with the ultimate objective of improving the lives of Myanmar citizens. As a result, Myanmar has become one of the fastest growing economies in the region. The number of people living under the poverty line has fallen drastically. However, 50 years of isolation cannot be overcome overnight. As this 2nd OECD Investment Policy Review of Myanmar aptly states, “despite substantial improvements, a peaceful Myanmar, open to the world and on a sustainable and inclusive development path, is still a work in progress.” Myanmar has come a long way in laying down the legal foundations to support a thriving business environment.

  • The Rohingya Predicament – Why Myanmar's Army Gets Away With
    The Rohingya Predicament. Why Myanmar’s Army Gets Away © 2019 IAI with Ethnic Cleansing by Zoltan Barany ABSTRACT The atrocities against and the privations of the Rohingya Muslim minority in Myanmar are well documented. Much less ISSN 2610-9603 | ISBN 978-88-9368-099-8 awareness exists about the reasons why Myanmar’s military, the Tatmadaw, has been able to get away with ethnic cleansing in an ostensibly democratising Buddhist state. The military has used the attacks of an insurgent group, the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army, as a pretext for carrying out a brutal campaign of eviction, repressions and executions. This anti-Rohingya campaign is fairly popular among Myanmar’s population, which further explains why the civilian government de facto led by Aung San Suu Kyi has no control over the Tatmadaw. Actually, at present there is no state or international organisation that can realistically rein in Myanmar’s military. China and India have contentious relations with their own Muslim minorities and strategic and economic interests in Myanmar. They will support its regime. Neighbouring states have only modest influence over Burmese politics, as do international organisations. Yet the latter still represent whatever hope there is of holding the regime and its generals accountable.

As a result of this exchange, the Director-General agreed to send the mission only after obtaining the agreement of the Myanmar authorities that the sole object of such a mission would be to provide direct assistance to implement immediately the recommendations of the Commission of Inquiry under the terms of the resolution adopted on this subject by the International Labour Conference at its 87th Session (1999). In addition, in a letter dated 10 May 2000 the Director-General insisted that the members of the mission team should have the necessary facilities (in particular the freedom of action to make all contacts that they considered useful) and the immunities needed to carry out their task. It was not until Saturday, 20 May 2000, that the Director-General received confirmation, in terms that he regarded as sufficiently precise, that this would be the case.
