The coup puts the focus on the SE Asian nation and the hold its army has on the economy.

The military coup in Myanmar has put the spotlight back on the South-East Asian country. Business Weekly examines the tight control the army has on the country’s economy.

As protests continue against the military coup in Myanmar, Business Weekly hears how the army controls the country’s economy. Jeff Bezos has announced that he’s stepping down as Amazon chief executive so he can concentrate on other projects. We think about the good he could he do if he really put his mind - and his money - to it. And it’s a dog’s life - we hear how the trade in lockdown pets is booming. Business Weekly is presented by Lucy Burton and produced by Matthew Davies.
