Myanmar’s Economic Development Policy q Since the launch of its civilian-led government , Myanmar has set its national development vision as the successful landing of a market economy. To this end, the country has specified the promotion of investment and trade and the expansion of private investment as its economic policy goals. q The current government of Myanmar aims to achieve people-centered, inclusive and sustainable development, where economic development serves “national reconciliation,” prioritizing job creation, diversifying its economy away from the natural resource sector, and “balanced development” across states and regions. 5
Myanmar’s Economic Development Policy q The Myanmar government has recognized the important role export can play to achieve these goals. Export promotion has received significant attention as a tool for economic development, along with FDI attraction, SME promotion, Special Economic Zones (SEZs) development.
