Key Takeaways
– Data darkness: The World Bank’s latest economic indicators for Myanmar are blank — no GDP growth, no inflation rate, no unemployment figures — reflecting a country where statistical infrastructure has collapsed alongside governance.
– Military-controlled economy: A quarter of Myanmar’s legislature is appointed by the military, and state-linked conglomerates like Myanma Economic Holdings Limited and Myanma Oil and Gas Enterprise dominate key sectors.
– Extractive industries rule: Gems, oil, and gas remain the backbone of what formal economy still functions, with Myanma Gems Enterprise and Myanma Oil and Gas Enterprise controlling strategic resources.
– Private sector resilience: Despite the crisis, consumer-facing companies like Air Bagan, Air Mandalay, and Eleven Media Group continue to operate, suggesting pockets of surviving commercial activity.
– Constitutional straitjacket: The 2008 constitution enshrines military power, creating a political economy where economic policy and security policy remain inseparable.
