Myanmar-Thai nexus: Blazing the
Asean trail by guest speaker Anthony Nafte, Senior Economist, CLSA.
Myanmar’s recent political opening paves the way for an economic restructuring
that will unleash the country’s huge potential. This is a nation rich in
resources, with extensive arable land, a young labour force and the lowest wage
level in the region. Anthony Nafte explains the significant impact such
development will have on the region, through enhanced connectivity with China,
India and Japan and the opening of a new gateway to Europe. Thailand will be
central in broadening the transportation network across Asean, spurred by its
increasing reliance on Myanmar’s energy resources for sustaining its own
economic upswing.
