The Myanmar Economic Monitor (MEM) aims
to periodically take stock of economic development and
highlight economic prospects and policy priorities in
Myanmar. Myanmar grew at an estimated 8.5 percent in real
terms in 2014/15. The MEM touches on continued recovery in
growth, public consumption, private investment, services,
investment in manufacturing and industry, rebound in
agriculture and the impact of floods. The monitor examines
foreign trade and investment; the inflation, monetary and
exchange rates; fiscal policy; and Myanmar’s economic
outlook. The Policy Watch section covers a few selected
priority issues closely related to Myanmar’s overall
economic developments and outlook.
