Myanmar’s economy, transitioning from isolation, is driven by agriculture, natural resources, and manufacturing. Market competition is constrained by political instability and international sanctions. Public policies aim at infrastructure development and poverty reduction, but conflict hampers progress. Regulatory frameworks are weak and corruption pervasive, deterring investment. Myanmar’s society is largely rural, with significant disparities in access to services. Education access has improved, but quality remains a challenge, particularly in conflict-affected regions. Healthcare infrastructure is underfunded and inadequate for population needs. Climate risks, including deforestation and extreme weather, exacerbate vulnerabilities. Myanmar’s growth potential depends on stability and governance reforms.
