Pyidaungsu Hluttaw: "Nay Pyi Taw, 25 Aug
— Pyidaungsu Hluttaw
representatives approved a
US$400 million loan from
the World Bank on Tuesday.
The loan will be split
between the Ministry of
Livestock, Fisheries and
Rural Development and the
Ministry of Electric Power.
U Maung Toe of Minhla
constituency supported
the loan and said that although
parliament has already
approved over US$
1.4 billion in foreign loans,
low interest rates on the
loans make further ones viable.
Daw Tin Nwe Oo MP
disagreed. She said that any
spending on unnecessary
projects should be cut and
stressed that taking another
loan while the US dollar
prices is rising against the
kyat is unwise. The loan was
approved by the majority of
members during a vote that
followed discussions.
Meanwhile, the newly
appointed Union Minister
for Defence Lt-Gen Sein
Win and Union Minister
for Border Affairs Lt-Gen
Kyaw Swe gave an oath before
the Hluttaw speaker.
Representatives also
passed a bill amending the
constitutional law as well
as the Myanmar Red Cross
Society Bill."...Pyithu Hluttaw: "Nay Pyi Taw, 25 Aug
— Myanmar?s financial
rules do not allow state-run
economic organisations to
deposit money in private
banks, said the Deputy Governor
of the Central Bank of
Myanmar U Set Aung on
Tuesday.
The deputy governor
was responding to a question
raised by U Ohn Ngwe,
MP for Myaung. He said
that the government?s economic
organisations may only open bank accounts at
Myanma Economic Banks
and added that state-owned
banks are permitted to take
part in the treasury bill auction
and deposit auction as
a means of raising revenue
to cover expenses. He noted
that the Central Bank of
Myanmar considers Myanma
Economic Bank as a
non-competitive bidder in
deposit auctions, which is in
line with the country?s monetary
policies.
Meanwhile, U Than Oo
of Myawady constituency
asked about whether there
are plans to reduce toll gate
fees for vehicles owned outside
Yangon Region. Deputy
Minister at the President
Office U Kyaw Kyaw Win
responded by saying that
Yangon City Development
Committee currently gives
exemptions of toll gate fees
to buses, departmental vehicles,
government vehicles
and cargo trucks. He did not
state whether reduced fees
for general traffic from outside
Yangon is on the cards.
The Hluttaw session
also approved a bill which
amended a 2012 Pyithu
Hluttaw Law as well as the
Vehicle bill.
Secretary of Pyithu
Hluttaw Investment and Industrial
Development Committee
U Kyi Tha read out
the industrial bill to members
prior to voting."
