Description:
As investors start flooding in to Burma, a lack of revenue transparency and accountability
is set to exacerbate the country?s resource curse, warns a watchdog group today.
According to a report by the Arakan Oil Watch, billions of dollars in revenues from the
sale of natural gas have gone unrecorded in Burma?s public accounts and been siphoned
off by corrupt military rulers, leaving Burma with some of the worst social indicators in
the world and embroiled in conflicts over natural resources.
