The military takeover has had and will likely continue to have significant repercussions across various economic sectors:
Manufacturing: International fashion brands, especially from Western countries, are expected to halt purchasing and manufacturing operations in Myanmar. This could lead to job losses and a slowdown in the garment sector, which had been a key component of Myanmar’s exports and economic growth.
Infrastructure Projects: Large-scale infrastructure projects, including industrial zones and special economic zones (SEZs), face delays or cancellations. Given that China and Japan have been major investors in these projects, their continued engagement may be influenced by the evolving political landscape.
