ABSTRACT

Myanmar’s economy has experienced political and


economic transformations since 2011 by means of diverse
economic reforms. However, the power sector is still struggling to
fulfil electricity demand. This study will examine aspects of the
electricity sector in an economy-wide perspective by means of
multiplier analysis based on a recent Social Accounting Matrix for
Myanmar. The paper begins by providing a brief scene-setting
context for the electricity sector in Myanmar and discusses its
developmental issues in the last decade or so, since the start of
the recent political and economic liberalization. Some of these
issues will be the subject of a multiplier modelling effort. The
modelling shows that insufficient and infrequent supply of
electricity can have far-reaching consequences, some of which
are not obvious at first. This highlights the importance of
understanding the network of inter-industry interactions even in
an economy of which the different elements are not as
interconnected as in many other countries
