Suu Kyi faces tough task to lift economy

Myanmar's first civilian administration will face the Herculean task of producing economic achievements as the country battles difficult reforms amid a lack of skilled labour, according to Thai academics.

Samarn Laodamrongchai, from Chulalongkorn University's East Asian Studies Institute, said Myanmar's de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi will focus on the nation's workforce to drive economic prosperity and benefit from the Asean Community over the next five years.

Business sectors in Thailand were likely to benefit from the change in Myanmar, including finance and banking, telecommunications, textiles and garments, hotel and tourism, construction, furniture, and agriculture and fisheries, he told a seminar Tuesday on "Who actually has the power in Myanmar: Aung San Suu Kyi or the military," organised by the institute.
