Hello. In this post we will tell you about Myanmar's economic potential.
The former capital of Burma, the city of Yangon, the country's main commercial, industrial and transport center, is considered as one of the trading ports of the 21st Century Sea Silk Road, part of the Chinese geo-economic project One Belt, One Road. It is of strategic importance, especially since the Strait of Malacca is located nearby, through which a quarter of the global maritime trade passes. In May 2017, the naval forces of China and Myanmar conducted joint naval maneuvers for the first time.
But Myanmar is not only a transit country for Chinese goods and a gateway to Southeast Asia for India. Over time, it can become a regional player in the energy sector. Proven gas reserves in this country are, according to OPEC, 450 billion cubic meters, but possible reserves, including in the offshore zone, exceed 1.6 trillion cubic meters. Thus, Myanmar can stand on a par with Kuwait, Libya, and Oman in terms of gas production potential. Now 80% of the country's gas is exported to Thailand and China. A gas pipeline with a capacity of 12 billion cubic meters per year passes through Myanmar, for the construction of which the Chinese state-owned oil company CNPC spent $ 2.5 billion. At the same time, CNPC is building a branch of the pipeline for $ 2.5 billion as well. The export of oil and gas through pipelines from Myanmar to China is called upon to become part of the PRC energy security program, about which Chinese officials have repeatedly stated.
Thus, Myanmar, located near the borders of the PRC, is becoming a real competitor to the Arab monarchies and the Persian Gulf countries, which supply liquefied natural gas and oil to China. And the largest oil and gas fields are located exactly where clashes between the representatives of the Muslim people of Rohingya and the government forces of Myanmar take place - this is the territory of Rakhine State and its shelf zone in the Bay of Bengal.
SKYBIT applies blockchain technology to provide a modern financial bridge between Myanmar and the rest of the world. A long-standing problem in Myanmar is that it has been difficult for money to go in or out via the traditional international banking system. Such difficulty has isolated Myanmar’s people and businesses from the rest of the world, hindering progress and development in the country.
Our solution is to use cryptocurrency, which are digital assets that can act like money and flows freely on the internet regardless of country borders. Our main service is a crypto asset exchange that allows traders from both Myanmar and around the world to convert between various crypto assets as well as Myanmar Kyat.
