A new position (“state counselor”) was created for Daw Aung San Suu Kyi which
commentators compare to that of a prime minister. The military MPs voted
against the law, but NLD’s majority in both chambers made sure that it was
passed on 6 April 2016.
The Ministry of Electric Power and Energy
will be headed by U Pyaw Myint Htun
and the Ministry of Education by U Myo Thein Gyi, despite it having been
originally announced that both ministries would be headed by Daw Aung San Suu Kyi
herself.
The
long-awaited Mobile Financial Services
Regulations were issued by the Central Bank on 30 March 2016. Please find a
detailed analysis inside our new newsletter (or the following post). An English translation of the
Regulations is available on Central Bank’s homepage.
For
the benefit of our readers, we have also included an English translation of the
2016 Shops and Establishments Law,
an important piece of labour law legislation from early this year.
Our
office is closed for the Water Festival
holidays. We will open again
only on 27 April 2016 as Nyein and I
will be going to Vietnam on a business trip.
