As governments in successive eras have undertaken development of the nation, and the current government is also striving for improvement of the country, State Administration Council Chairman Senior General Min Aung Hlaing said.
He said the comment during the meeting with officials from UMFCCI in Yangon on 23 December. Different systems were applied in different eras for national economic growth. The Tatmadaw government adopted market economy, which came into shape in 2011 when the country was on the road to multi-party democracy, he said.
However, the government still has to engage in some businesses that the private sector could not. The aim is to encourage private businesses, he added.
With less productivity in the country, there are still few trade activities. It is necessary to mass-produce quality goods. The use of products from the existing agricultural, livestock and natural resources will contribute to national economy, he continued. Efforts must be made to acquire inputs that are necessary in the manufacturing sector.
The Senior General urged officials from UMFCCI to fully cooperate with the government and exert efforts in the interests of the country.
