This report has identified a number of challenges associated with SEE governance in Myanmar, including revenue retention rules, management of Other Account balances, transparency, and budgeting and oversight. Furthermore, we have detected a number of specific risks to natural resource SEE profitability, specifically at MOGE and MGE. Here we provide recommendations on areas for reform and discuss what policy changes Myanmar officials could consider to address these risks and challenges. We also suggest a draft timeline on implementation of reforms.
