    Asian Development Bank and Myanmar: Fact Sheet

    Asian Development Bank | July 2006
    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’s 677,000 square kilometers of land area make it the second largest country in Southeast Asia. Bordering five nations, including India and the People’s Republic of China (PRC), it is strategically located as a land bridge with South Asia. The country is endowed with rich natural resources—arable land, forestry, minerals including gas and oil, and freshwater and marine resources. Poverty, particularly in remote and border areas, is a major challenge. Poverty incidence is estimated at 26.6% (20.7% for urban areas and 28.4% for rural areas, with a sample size of 30,000 households from 75 townships), according to the 2001 Household Income and Expenditure Survey.
