Analysis
Myanmar is a minor power in Asia.
Myanmar's score rose by 0.5 points in 2025.
Fragmentation, conflict, and contested political legitimacy limit the country’s ability to exert influence over its external environment.
Reflecting the state of the civil war, Myanmar scores lowest for resilience, declining by three places to rank last for this measure in 2025.
However, Myanmar improved its rank for five measures, including diplomatic influence, in part a result of modestly increased diplomatic engagement, notably at the political level at ASEAN’s 2024 meetings in Laos.
The continued economic impact of international isolation saw Myanmar decline two places to 24th for economic capability, and to 19th for economic relationships.
Myanmar exerts slightly less influence in the region than expected given its available resources, as indicated by the country's negative Power Gap score, though this gap narrowed slightly in 2025.
