The Economics Watch program is an initiative aimed at transforming how we understand Myanmar’s economy. By driving cutting-edge economic research and sharing fresh insights, we bridge the gap between research and on-ground economic changes. Our goal is to help people and policymakers navigate economic changes and boost prosperity through a modern approach to understanding both the public and private sectors. By emphasizing evidence-based research and dialogue, Economics Watch seeks to leverage new ideas and technologies to craft policies that not only tackle today’s challenges but also build a robust economic future at both local and state levels.
