	March 4, 2010 Burma's Economy on the Eve of the 2010 Elections The elections planned for 2010 could be a game-changer for Burma, with the economy presenting a viable point of entry for effective and lasting reform. Drawing from his December 2009 visit to Burma, Joseph Stiglitz discussed his perspectives and outlined how economic reform could help promote both lasting peace and sustainable, conflict-sensitive economic progress.

	April 20, 2009 Fiery Dragons: Banks, Moneylenders and Microfinance in Burma At the dawn of the twentieth century Burma was the richest country in Southeast Asia. By the dawn of the twenty-first it was the poorest. The journey between these poles is the political and economic history of modern Burma. It is a history in which the common thread has been the failure to fashion the institutions necessary for sustained economic growth - including that of a properly functioning financial system. A careful analysis of Burma's financial system - of its banks, moneylenders and 'microfinanciers' - reveals volumes about the country's descent, its current circumstances, and also about finding ways forward. Countries: Myanmar/Burma \| Issue Areas: Economics and Conflict
