Better transport is essential to Myanmar’s development. After decades of underinvestment, Myanmar’s transport infrastructure lags behind other regional countries. Sixty percent of trunk highways and most of the railways need maintenance or rehabilitation. River infrastructure does not exist, while 20 million people lack basic road access. Can the transport sector deliver upon the master plan’s objectives? What is needed to improve the quality of the infrastructure and services for the industry? How can basic transport services be provided to all? How can Myanmar reduce the economic and social cost of transport? These reports attempt to answer these questions.

In Myanmar, the transport system is breaking down. The number of cars doubled from 160,000 to 320,000 between 2011 and 2015. Bus services have been steadily losing customers at a rate of 10% a year. Congestion is increasing quickly. Vehicle speed in the capital city of Yangon often reaches only 30 kilometers per hour, and sometimes slows to half that. If current trends continue unchecked, Yangon's urban transport could become a major constraint to the country's economic growth. This publication presents a review of Myanmar's urban transport, with a focus on the main cities of Yangon and Mandalay.

Only six years sets this second OECD Investment Policy Reviews: Myanmar apart from the first review published in 2014, but much progress has occurred in investment policies and related areas in Myanmar in the interim. Nonetheless, the reform momentum needs to be sustained and deepened for the benefits of recent investment climate reforms to be shared widely and for growth to be environmentally sustainable, ultimately contributing toward the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
