YANGON -- Myanmar President Win Myint nominated a finance professional with deep international experience to become the nation's next finance minister on Monday, hoping to advance reforms that will breathe new life into the economy.
Soe Win, a 79-year-old managing partner at Deloitte Touche Myanmar Vigour Advisory, will succeed Kyaw Win, who resigned Friday after being placed under investigation by the country's corruption watchdog. Many local business leaders blamed Kyaw Win for the lack of progress on economic reforms.
