On January 26, 2022, the U.S. government issued an advisory discussing certain risks and
considerations for businesses and individuals with exposure to
entities responsible for "undermining democratic processes,
facilitating corruption, and committing human rights abuses"
in Myanmar (the "Advisory"). According to a press release, the Department of the
Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC")
explained that it "joined the Departments of State, Commerce,
Homeland Security, Labor, and the Office of the U.S. Trade
Representative in issuing a business advisory to inform the public
of the heightened risks associated with doing business in Myanmar,
particularly business involving the military regime."
