Asian Development Bank and Myanmar: Fact Sheet
Asian Development Bank | June 2011
Abstract
Updated yearly, this ADB Fact Sheet provides social and economic indicators on Myanmar as well as concise information on ADB's operations in the country and contact information. Myanmar is the second largest country in Southeast Asia. It borders five nations and is endowed with rich natural resources—arable land, forestry, minerals (including gas and oil), and freshwater and marine resources. However, Asian Development Bank (ADB) has not provided direct assistance to Myanmar in more than 20 years. ADB’s last loan and technical assistance projects for Myanmar were approved in 1986 and 1987, respectively. ADB continues to monitor economic developments in Myanmar, and will formulate an operational strategy when appropriate.
