CPI 19.0% (implicit target) — credibility severely compromised (17/100)

Myanmar holds #150 on the headline ranking, against 13 others we score in East Asia & Pacific. 13 of them sit in a stronger band than Myanmar and none in a weaker one. Their split: 12 in 50–65, 1 in 35–50. Hong Kong SAR, China tops them at #9; Fiji closes them at #137. The nearest neighbour above Myanmar is Fiji at #137; none in this region sit below it. 1 of the 13 is monitored rather than ranked — the dashes below. At the bottom step, the peer that matters is whoever exited it most recently. Without a week-earlier reading there is no direction to set against the table yet. Same seven dimensions, same sources, same day.

Rank is the position in the full cross-country ranking, not within East Asia & Pacific. 12 of these 13 carry one. Composite scores are part of a subscription.

Questions about the Myanmar score

What does a score of 17.2 mean for Myanmar?

17.2/100, band < 35: target and outturn are barely related, which is what a lost anchor looks like. That is 32.8 points below the 50 mid-point of the scale. Seven weighted dimensions produce the figure and no analyst adjusts it afterwards. Nothing in it is a forecast — it grades what Myanmar's central bank has already done, said and delivered.

How often is Myanmar's score updated?

Nightly, off that day's public releases; this page carries the 2026-09-08 run. There is no reading from seven days ago to set this one against. A 90-day trailing average damps single prints, so a weekly move past a couple of points is a real one. Tomorrow's run replaces the 2026-09-08 figure outright rather than revising it in place.

What is the < 35 credibility band?

Five bands cut the scale — ≥ 80, 65–80, 50–65, 35–50, < 35 — and < 35 is step 5. Myanmar clears its 0 floor by 17.2 and stops 17.8 short of 35. Nothing sits below < 35; the step back up is 35–50. Bands grade monetary behaviour, not default risk, so none of this is a credit rating.
