ABOUT THE PANEL DISCUSSION

Join us for an insightful webinar titled "How Boards Have Evolved in Myanmar," where we will explore the transformation of boards in Myanmar. Beginning with a presentation on board structure, board effectiveness, and board dynamics from a corporate governance perspective, we will delve into firsthand experiences of three board directors.

In the past, Myanmar's corporate landscape was characterised by family-owned or state-owned enterprises with boards functioning more like management bodies or advisory bodies. Since the country's opening to the global economy, a significant shift has occurred. Local conglomerates and family-owned businesses have embraced improved corporate governance practices, in some cases spurred by foreign investment and development finance.

Our panelists will engage in a candid discussion on the ongoing evolution, highlighting the varying experiences across different company types, positive advances as well as challenges and gaps.
