Myanmar’s military junta earned more than $800 million from natural gas exports in the four months from April to July, the state-run Global New Light of Myanmar reported yesterday. The newspaper cited figures from the junta’s Ministry of Commerce claiming that the country exported 77.89 million kiloliters of natural gas during the above period, mostly to Thailand and China. This landed the government $819 million, which the paper claimed was an increase of $60.7 million on the same period last year.
