Singapore : ISEAS Publishing, [2019] ©2019 1 online resource (28 p.) text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier text file PDF rda Frontmatter -- FOREWORD -- EXECUTIVE SUMMARY -- MYANMAR'S GARMENT SECTOR AND THE EU'S THREAT TO SUSPEND GSP PREFERENCES -- GARMENT INDUSTRY PROFILE AND GLOBAL TRENDS -- WHAT MIGHT ALL THIS MEAN FOR MYANMAR? restricted access http://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_16ec online access with authorization star The EU has threatened to suspend Generalized Scheme of Preferences (GSP) status for Myanmar, under which the country's exports can enter Europe without any tariffs or "as. The official reason cited by the EU is a growing concern over human rights violations and issues around labour rights in Myanmar. If this threat were to be carried out, the business sector that will be most affected is Myanmar's burgeoning garment sector, which employs around 700,000 people, most of whom are women. The principal worry in Myanmar is that if EU buyers and brands have to start paying tariffs to import Myanmar-made garments, then they will opt to shift their sourcing to other countries. Without GSP, Myanmar's garment exports may no longer be price competitive. As one of the few manufacturing sectors in Myanmar to employ semi-skilled women, many of whom migrated from poor rural areas, the garment sector has come to play an important socioeconomic role in the country. Whether or not the EU decides to withdraw GSP status, Myanmar's garment sector faces a number of challenges. How Myanmar's policymakers and garment industry leaders respond to global industry trends will be just as important, in the long run, in determining the sector's commercial sustainability.
