Myanmar - Easing Of Sanctions In View As Regime Signals Release Of Suu Kyi
BMI View: We see an increased possibility of an easing of sanctions by the US following the holding of elections, most likely in H210, and the potential release of pro-democracy activist Aung San Suu Kyi after the polls. While an easing may be opposed by European capitals, we believe Washington will seek to continue its policy of engaging the regime and thus reduce China's growing influence.
