Abstract
The title of this research paper is “The Effects of the Lift of Car Import Bans in Myanmar”. Literature from the Internet and personal interviews were the base of this paper. I investigated on the Internet observing prices of cars and commentary from people.
In this project the following will be stated and explained: Brief background information of the previous car market Brief background information of the current car market The positive effects The negative effects Possible Future effects Conclusion
Introduction
During the recent reformation of the government in Myanmar, many bans and prohibitions were lifted. One of which was lifted was the Car Import Bans. Thus this made the cars less expensive and widely available to the mass public. This also created many more jobs. This effort not only had good effects but bad effects were present too, such as traffic jam because many cars were imported very quickly and roads were not ready for this amount of cars. Another instance would be the people who “invested” in cars hoping for
Profit but in return “loss”i.

Before the Lift
Before the lift, the military junta strictly limited the rule on importing carsii. Only people from the military, concerned with politics or have ties with the military junta, could import cars. And most of them would sell the cars with high profitsiiiiv. During that period lots of people were buying cars in hope of someday that they would get profit from resellingv. During that time, the cars were not shiny BENZs or the dazzling Beemers, but they were two to three decade old Japanese car that were mere scrap.

The Negative Effects
One of the main drawbacks was the traffic generated. This made Yangon’s previous traffic much more abhorrent. Multiplying much more time traveling. The traffic wasn’t a major problem
