| Riassunto: | This paper reviews economic developments in Myanmar during the 1990s. The economic performance of Myanmar in the 1990s has fallen short of other countries in the region. The Asian crisis has had an unexpectedly limited impact on Myanmar.

Other effects of the crisis have included a slowing in growth of tourist arrivals and delayed receipt of gas export revenues. |
