Economic Aftershocks
The Myanmar Economic Monitor (MEM), published semiannually by the World Bank’s Myanmar office, has recently released its latest edition. This report covers the impact of the March earthquake, highlighting how the resulting economic aftershocks are compounding ongoing challenges for firms and households.
The MEM projects a 2.5 percent contraction in Myanmar's gross domestic product (GDP) for the 2025/26 fiscal year, primarily due to the earthquake's impact.
Production across all sectors has been disrupted by factory closures, supply chain constraints, labor shortages, and damage to infrastructure. Economic output for the current fiscal year is projected to be approximately US$2 billion lower due to the earthquake. The worst-affected regions, Mandalay and Nay Pyi Taw, are expected to experience about a third reduction in their output between April and September. However, a partial recovery is anticipated in the latter half of the fiscal year, supported by reconstruction efforts.
