NAY PYI TAW, MYANMAR (29 January 2015) – Greater Mekong Subregion countries pledged to redouble efforts to protect and enhance their natural assets—including forests, farmlands, wetlands and water bodies—to ensure they contribute to inclusive and sustainable development, amid concerns that failure to take action threatens the subregion’s growth prospects.

This report provides the status of the overall Regional Investment Framework Implementation Plan as of 30 June 2015, for all sectors, both investment and technical assistance projects.
The GMS Regional Innovation Workshop was held on 15 May 2024 in Beijing, PRC.
The course enabled the participants to acquire a hands-on understanding of important electricity market concepts, including: (i) why wholesale electricity markets are generally cleared via uniform-price rather than pay-as-bid auctions, (ii) the operation of transmission constraints, (iii) how wind and solar affect electricity market outcomes, (iv) when suppliers have incentives to exercise unilateral market power, and (v) how fixed-price forward contracts can align supplier behavior with the policymaker’s goal of least-cost electricity supply, including when there are transmission constraints and high shares of wind and solar. The workshop was organized by ADB, ADB Institute, and Standford University Program on Energy and Sustainable Development.
ADB remains deeply concerned about recent developments in Myanmar and will continue to consult with shareholders and other stakeholders on any operations in the country.
