Abstract
Taking off from a system characterized by weak fiscal management, the present government restored a measure
of fiscal discipline, reoriented fiscal priorities, and established a clear set of fiscal objectives in the Framework
for Economic and Social Reforms. The Government of Myanmar now has to prioritize how best to implement
these fiscal objectives while strengthening long-run fiscal discipline. This paper provides a broad range of
recommendations on how this can be achieved, using analysis of Myanmar’s present and past fiscal situation
alongside insights provided by the experience of other countries.
