Jakarta (ANTARA News) - The Indonesian government will send some humanitarian aid to help Myanmar after a strong earthquake measuring 6.8 on the Richter scale rocked the country on Wednesday, a spokesperson said.

"Yes, we are ready to offer humanitarian aid," the Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs' spokesperson, Arrmanatha Nasir, said here on Thursday.

Speaking during a press briefing at the MOFA's office in Jakarta, Nasir noted that communication is on with the Indonesian Embassy in Myanmar in a bid to estimate the number of the victims, what kind of aid they need, and the level of damage.

Nasir said Myanmar's neighbor as well as a member of the ASEAN, Indonesia would try its best to assist in the recovery process after the earthquake jolted the southwestern area of the country.

As of now, there are 609 Indonesian nationals in Myanmar and no one was affected by the earthquake, the embassy has reported.

"The government and the people of Indonesia offer their deepest condolences to the government and the people of Myanmar on the tragic disaster and wish for early recovery after the earthquake," Nasir emphasized.

A strong earthquake measuring 6.8 on the Richter scale rocked Myanmar on Wednesday at 05:04:54 p.m. local time, according to the country's Meteorology and Hydrology Department.

With its epicenter 197.9 kilometers southwest of Mandalay and 19.3 kilometers west of Chauk, the quake jolted most parts of the country, including Nay Pyi Taw and Yangon.

The quake shook buildings and damaged electricity supply in many parts of the country, according to the residents of quake-hit areas.

No immediate and detailed official report is available on quake's casualties, except that one person died in Pakkoku, though it is yet to be confirmed. (*)

FDI plunges $2b since April

Ye Aung Thu / AFP

16 Aug 2016
Tweet
Foreign direct investment plunged more than US$2 billion in the four months since the National League for Democracy government took office over the same period last year, media reports said last week, quoting government figures.

FDI in the first four months of the fiscal year from April to July totalled $380 million, a huge fall from $2.6 billion in the same period last year, said the Department of Investment and Company Administration, it was reported on August 13.

Reuters newsagency quoted businesspeople and officials as blaming the slump on caution amid the change of power to the first civilian-led administration in more than 50 years, a delay in appointing new members of the Myanmar Investment Commission and a government economic policy criticised for lacking detail.

"I think the changes in the government and the respective laws made some potential big foreign investors reluctant," U Win Aung, chairman of the Union of Myanmar Federation of Chambers of Commerce and Industry, was quoted as saying by Reuters.

"They may have been concerned about possible risks that can arise out of the changes," he added. "They will come in when things are settled. I don't think the first quarter inflow is enough to assess the situation for the whole fiscal year,” he said.

U Kyaw Win, a director at DICA, said the fall was due to a delay in appointing a new MIC to approve investments.

“Normally, the MIC is supposed to hold meetings twice a month, but it’s been able to meet only three times this fiscal year,” Reuters quoted him as saying.

The MIC secretary, U Aung Naing Oo, told Reuters in June that about 102 projects submitted since April were awaiting approval. About half were foreign investment projects valued at about $2.3 billion.

Signs of ASEAN integration as Vietnam Inc. targets Myanmar
MOTOKAZU MATSUI, Nikkei staff writer

The Bank for Investment and Development of Vietnam opened a branch in Yangon, the biggest city in Myanmar, in July.

YANGON -- It may be a sign of progress for economic integration in Southeast Asia, or of affinity between the two countries. Whatever the reason, Vietnamese companies are increasingly setting up shop in Myanmar.

An example of the remarkable influx recently is the Bank for Investment and Development of Vietnam. In late July, the state-owned commercial bank opened a branch in Myanmar Plaza, which was partially opened late last year in Yankin, a commercial district of Yangon, Myanmar's largest city. The commercial complex was built by Hoang Anh Gia Lai, a major real estate developer.

The first-ever Myanmar branch of a Vietnamese bank is targeting fellow Vietnamese companies that operate in Myanmar. It aims to rank among the top five foreign banks in the country by boosting its local assets to $300 million.

That is an ambitious goal considering the competitive market, where nine foreign banks, including three Japanese megabanks, operate. However, observers say it at least goes to show the extent of Vietnamese companies' enthusiasm for doing business in Myanmar.

More Vietnamese companies are expected to occupy floor space at Myanmar Plaza. According to a real estate industry source, they may come to represent a large percentage of its tenants.

A senior official at a Japanese bank said the people of Myanmar may look at Vietnam with a sense of familiarity due to their similar historic background. Both countries had antagonistic relationships with the United States for many years, and in both, state-owned companies have a large presence.

"Vietnamese companies are treated favorably when it comes to granting investment" in Myanmar, the official said.

Unified market

The aggressive investment by Vietnamese companies has also been supported by the establishment in late 2015 of the ASEAN Economic Community, a framework for abolishing tariffs between members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, to create a unified market in the region. This has helped encourage direct investment among member nations, observers say.

Vietnamese capital was not a major presence in Myanmar until recently. Vietnam ranks 10th in the share of cumulative foreign direct investment in Myanmar since 1988, the first year for which statistics are available. Vietnam's total is $693 million.

Although Vietnamese companies started expanding overseas in earnest in the latter half of the 1990s, they mainly targeted neighboring Laos and Cambodia. The number of companies expanding into Myanmar started growing a few years ago.

Another notable Vietnamese entrant is Viettel Group, which plans to invest $1.5 billion to launch high-speed mobile services, including fourth-generation service. That is more than twice the total amount of investment by Vietnamese companies in the country. The plan follows the Myanmar government's announcement in March that it will grant a mobile phone business license to Viettel Group's joint venture with local businesses.

Also betting big on Myanmar is FPT, a major Vietnamese information technology company. So far it has operated an offshore software development business in Myanmar, but it is now in the process of jump-starting local operations.

In July 2015, the company obtained a network facilities service license from Myanmar's communications ministry. In July this year, it signed a deal to develop a financial system for Myanmar Payment Union, a major payment service.

I wish we could lift the ban on capital outflows from the country. There's a lot of accumulated capital in the country that wants to be invested abroad. Then we can start becoming a player in regional investments.
