The World Bank late last month slashed Myanmar's economic outlook this year to a contraction of 10%, a sharp reversal from the bank's previous economic update in October of 5.9% growth in 2021, one of the strongest rates of expansion in the region. Earlier in February, a report by Fitch Solutions warned the political ... » Learn More about Neighbourly neglect
