    Myanmar, Global

    Myanmar grew at an estimated 8.5 percent
    in real terms in 2014-15. Economic reforms have supported
    consumer and investor confidence despite business
    environment and socio-political challenges. The economic
    impact of the floods that hit Myanmar from July 2015 is
    still being assessed, but will likely adversely affect the
    main rice crop this year. According to preliminary analysis
    of census data, the areas most affected by the floods are

    This paper studies the effects of
    differences in local administrative burdens in Italy in the
    years 2005–2007 preceding a major reform that sped up firm
    registration procedures. Combining regulatory data from a
    survey on Italian provinces before the reform (costs and
    time to start a business) with industry-level entry rates of
    limited liability firms, it explores the effects of
    regulatory barriers on the average of the annual entry rates

    supported by improved terms of trade, higher remittance

    Jordan

    The Government of Jordan, the World Bank
    Group (WBG), and the international community are working
    towards a paradigm shift in their collective response to the
    refugee crisis - a holistic approach which stresses the
    continuum between the humanitarian response and the
    country’s development agenda. In parallel, Jordan’s implicit
    social contract by which the state provided citizens with
    jobs and heavily subsidized public services is evolving.

But instead of creating conditions for sustainable development, recent Burmese governments have enacted abusive laws, enforced poorly conceived policies, and encouraged corrupt land administration officials that have promoted the displacement of small-scale farmers and rural villagers.
