Through 2019 World Bank and CSO prints still showed wide rural-urban income gaps the NLD growth spell did not close.

Context

CSO measures. She did not write a household.

Investment opening is a neighbouring growth row. Land confiscation is a neighbouring rural-asset row.

Myanmar’s State Counsellor (2016–2021) was de facto civilian head under the 2008 Constitution; she did not command the Tatmadaw’s autonomous ministries, write a Bangladeshi gazette, an ICJ merits judgment, or a 2026 Min Aung Hlaing amnesty. She has been detained since 1 February 2021; as of August 2026 she is under house arrest after sentence commutations, not in office. A Nobel lecture is not a clearance-operation order. An ICJ appearance is not a personal genocide conviction. A junta court sentence is not a finding that every charge was true. Allegation of a stolen 2020 count is not stored as a completed steal. A Panglong speech is not a nationwide ceasefire. A Reuters conviction is not a completed finding that the journalists planted evidence. A 2026 ICRC visit is not a release.

Why it matters

The path is income inequality: a completed wide-gap spell is a distributional cost even when some growth printed.

Evidence

What the sources establish

Central Statistical Organization Myanmar carries the official instrument or communique. World Bank records the same dated act independently.

Established: 2019 continued wide rural-urban income gaps during her term, independently reported.

Not established: that she uniquely caused colonial-era gaps, or a unique later calorie coefficient from one print.

CSO measured. Conflict and land files leaked.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies Rural-urban income gaps remain wide through the NLD term, not a later speech about Rural-urban income gaps remain wide through the NLD term.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to Her cabinets owned rural and industrial policy. CSO measured. Conflict and land files leaked. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
