    Devex Newswire: Could the UN change its approach in Myanmar?

    In today's edition: a system change in dealing with the conflict in Myanmar, what rising interest rates mean for fintech in emerging markets, and one solution for governance problems in Africa.

    By Vince Chadwick // 29 June 2023

    Myanmar's conflict is one of the worst in the world, and two United Nations envoys have barely made a dent in solving it. So what does that mean for a possible third envoy?

    Also in today’s edition: An idea to rank presidents to improve governance in Africa, a European summit about migration prevention rather than rescue at sea, and how the Bridgetown Agenda plays in the United Kingdom.

    + Tune in today at 11 a.m. ET for a weekly chat about the top globaldev news of the week. Devex President and CEO Raj Kumar will be joined by Reuben Abraham, the CEO at IDFC Institute, and Nasra Ismail, a policy adviser and ICAP Aspen fellow.
