Business people, you might as well go take a break: nothing is getting done before the elections.
The opening of the Yangon stock exchange, originally slated for October, has become the latest high-profile project (see also: phone tax) to be pushed back until after November, the Bangkok Post reported.
Three companies – Asia Green Development Bank, Myanmar Agribusiness Public Corporation and First Myanmar Investment Company – are set to list.
“Actually, we are almost getting ready for the launch [of the stock exchange], but we decided to postpone it as the election is more important for the country’s democratic transition,” Deputy Finance Minister Maung Maung Thein told the Post.
Whoa, really?
