Myanmar Backs MSMEs with Major Loan Boost and Earthquake Recovery Fund

Myanmar’s government is scaling up support for Micro-,Small-,and Medium-sized Enterprises (MSMEs), especially those with export potential, according to Vice-Senior General Soe Win at the MSME Development Work Committee’s 2025 meeting. The government has disbursed K150 billion in low-interest loans and allocated an additional K20 billion for development initiatives. Eighteen private banks are involved in loan distribution, while steps are being taken to raise insurance-backed loan limits from K20 million to K50 million.

To aid recovery from the Mandalay earthquake, another K150 billion will be issued from the Earthquake Recovery Fund. The government is also facilitating international market linkages through commercial attachés and One-Stop Services. Over 150,000 people have completed MSME-related training across 7,000+ sessions. Emphasizing technology access and responsible borrowing, officials aim to boost resilience and market reach for local businesses.
