The military coup in Myanmar has announced a confiscation of deposits in the financial sector, which is the core foundation of the’Civil Disobedience Movement (CDM)’. The aim is to overcome the situation where the operating funds of the military administration are gradually drying up due to international sanctions, and to crush the CDM from the source. However, citizens are working to prevent forced transfer of deposits while maintaining a strong force of resistance. The number of deaths in protests surpassed 200 due to repeated bloody suppression by the military.
According to local media such as Irrawaddy on the 18th, the military responded to private banks that participated in the CDM on the 9th. Was informed. Miyawadi Bank is a military-owned financial institution, and the Economic Bank is also fully controlled by the military government. The military, facing financial difficulties due to the economic sanctions of the United States and the European Union (EU), has expressed ambition to rob citizens of Ssamjit money as government funds.
Strike financiers are resisting military threats. There is a corner to believe. An official from Myanmar’s largest Kamboja Bank, which has 500 branches nationwide, said, “As the financial system was paralyzed, the sense of crisis in the military increased, but there is no possibility that the majority of strikers will return to work.” This is because private banking practitioners do not have the personnel to take part in the strike and transfer deposits, and even if they confiscate funds, many central bank employees who must deliver them are also participating in the CDM.
