Details
Myanmar is widely recognized as one of the last true frontier economies that can have significant last mover advantages in implementing and leapfrogging technology cycles.
While the country is in the middle of a positive economic transition, Myanmar's financial sector is the least developed in South East Asia with the absence of traditional banking infrastructure, and given the sheer size of its emerging market, growth potentials continue to look very promising. With a population of more than 50 million, over 90% of its people are still unbanked. FinTech has been identified as an effective vehicle to drive true financial inclusion driven by rapid mobile penetration rate - telcos are expected to cover 90% of the population within the next two to three years compared to 10% in 2013 – with data and online access skyrocketing in recent years, paving the way for more innovation and opportunities.
