Myanmar

EghtesadOnline: Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi on Saturday made a pitch to foreign investors, promising a clearer legal framework and opportunities in untapped economic sectors, two weeks after U.S. President Barack Obama lifted most sanctions on the country.

EghtesadOnline: Reuters reported that a Myanmar-based energy intermediary received a shipment of Iranian jet fuel after signing a contract to purchase South African diesel. According to the news agency, documents it reviewed indicate that Myanmar's foreign exchange regulator also approved the shipment being recorded as diesel rather than jet fuel, a move that could have concealed the cargo's true origin and helped circumvent U.S. sanctions.
