Greece 'may need 10bn euros more' in aid - Stournaras

Greece may need a third bailout but would not accept new austerity measures, the Greek finance minister has said.

Yannis Stournaras said: "If there is need for further support to Greece, it will be in the order of about 10bn euros (£8.6bn; $13.4bn), or much smaller than the previous programmes."
Greece has already received two bailouts totalling about 240bn euros.
Meanwhile, Angela Merkel has warned about writing down any more Greek debt.
Germany's chancellor said a so-called haircut of Greek debt would be bad for the stability of the eurozone, which has seen a return in investor confidence after years of worrying about the future of the single currency following bailouts of several nations - most recently, Cyprus.
"I am expressly warning against a haircut," Mrs Merkel said. "It could trigger a domino effect of uncertainty with the result that the readiness of private investors to invest in the eurozone again falls to nothing."
Her comments come after Germany's finance minister, Wolfgang Schaeuble, said - for the first time - earlier this month that Greece will need another bailout to plug a forthcoming funding gap.
The issue of bailouts is a sensitive one in Germany, where Mrs Merkel faces elections for a third term on 22 September.
Many Germans feel they have already contributed enough to European bailouts.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) last month estimated Greece would need around 11bn euros in 2014-15.
'No more austerity''No more austerity'On Sunday, Mr Stournaras told Greek newspaper Proto Thema that any further bailout would be smaller than the previous two.
But he also warned that Greece would not accept any more forced spending cuts from its partners.
"We are not talking about a new bailout but an economic support package without new [austerity] terms... until 2016, the targets - our obligations - have been set and other measures or targets cannot be required."
The Greek economy has shrunk further than any other in Europe, with bailout money only released on condition that the government imposes cuts and implements restructuring.
It comes after most of the 18-member eurozone countries came out of recession earlier this year.
Greece's troika of lenders - the European Commission, the European Central Bank and the IMF - will review the aid programme in the autumn.

Environmental impacts of Thilawa project informed to locals

Thilawa SEZ Management Committee organized a meeting on August 23 to inform the local residents about possible consequences of the first phase of Thilawa Special Economic Zone Project.

Located in Thanlyin Township of Yangon suburb, Thilawa Special Economic Zone Project is a joint venture between Myanmar and Japanese governments.

Japan-based Nippon Koei Company and Resource and Environment Myanmar are together conducting the environmental and social impact assessments [EIA/SIA] of Thilawa project. A team of the representatives have explained their findings to the local people during the meeting on Friday, said Set Aung, the chairperson of Thilawa SEZ Management Committee.

"Independent companies are taking EIA/SIA of Thilawa Special Economic Zone Project. They have been chosen on the tender basis. Seven companies applied for it, and one was picked. According to the EIA procedures, the locals have been informed once about the project six months ago, before EIA process started. Now, the company conducting EIA is explaining to the locals," he said.

Thilawa SEZ is to be implemented in two phases. In the first phase, various factories including automobile plants and electronic-product manufacturing factories will be set up on the 5930-acre land. In the second phase, more plants including garment factories and food processing units will be erected.
The preliminary EIA report of Thilawa SEZ is expected to be released in September. Environmental management plan for the first phase of Thilawa SEZ will also be circulated to the respective government departments and organizations, according to Thilawa SEZ Management Committee.

Myanmar plans to implement two new deep seaport projects

Myanmar is planning to construct another two new deep seaports in the Tanintaryi coast and Ayeyarwady region, according to Myanmar Port Authority (MPA).

Thailand is interested to construct Kalargote deep seaport project located between Mawlamyaing and Yay in Tanintaryi coast. Singapore is also interested to invest at Ngayokekaung deep seaport located at Ngayokekaung Bay in Ayayarwady region.

Emerald Grand Hotel Group from Thailand and Super Axis Development Pte Ltd. from Singapore have signed MoU with the MPA in this month to analyse the potential to construct deep seaports in Kalargote and Ngayokekaung respectively.

In the analysis, the measurement of water resistance, ground testing, the effect of wind and tide and the overall expenses to construct a whole deep seaport are included.

Ngayokekaung deep seaport port will have the capacity to load 50,000-tonnes of goods and Kalargote deep seaport will be able to contain 30 vessels of about 50,000-tonnes, according to Chief Civil Engineer of the MPA Mya Than.

After completing the research, the MPA will decide whether the project will be conducted as a build, operate and transfer (BOT) system or a joint venture.

Industrial zones projects are included in those two projects and the MPA will cooperate with Ayeyawady regional government, Mon State government and Ministry of National Planning and Economic Development to implement the two projects.

Effectively regulating tax is vital to controlling rising land prices in Myanmar, finance deputy minister said at a press conference in Nay Pyi Taw on August 23.

Effectively regulating tax is vital to controlling rising land prices in Myanmar, finance deputy minister said at a press conference in Nay Pyi Taw on August 23.

“Actually, land prices increase because people buy and sell lands as if they are gambling. Myanmar has just started to develop and so people want to do some gambling. That gambling spirit cannot be easily stopped. We are trying to give a vent for the gambling spirit, and that is to establish the stock exchange. The stock exchange is a decent place for people,” said Mr Maung Maung Thein, Deputy Minister for Finance.

He said the first solution for controlling land prices is to ensure correct use of tax stamps on the land sale-contracts. “For a deal worth Ks10 million, some use the cheaper stamps used for those deals worth Ks5 million,” he said.

“The plan we are working to solve the issue is that regional governments will re-value current land prices and calculate the cost of each 1x1ft land. Yangon region has already completed it. After that, we will apply tax stamps accordingly,” the deputy minister added.

President’s Office Minister Soe Thein agreed with Maung Maung Thein on the need to enforce effective tax regulation. He said, “Land taxes need to be reviewed. Some taxes need to be applied. Now, people are dealing in lands and houses. If a tax is levied on each sale of land, the tax will control [rising land prices].”
