Myanmar: Sowing but not harvesting?

Chapter 6 in Information Technology, Innovation System and Trade Regime in Developing Countries, 2006, pp 139-168 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Myanmar presents the case of an economy that makes earnest efforts towards regaining the glorious past through a series of market-oriented reforms initiated since 1988. But the structural transformation of the economy being pursued through policy reforms is yet to be completed; in 1936, prior to independence, the share of agriculture in GDP was of the order of 66 per cent and the situation seemed to have not changed drastically even in 2002. Going by the data provided by World Bank (2002)1 on the contribution of GDP by different sectors of the economy over time, a critic might present the case of Myanmar as a case of “structural retrogression”, and contrary to the experience of most developing countries.
