Myanmar - a land of opportunity
A key trade hub between China and India and flowing with untapped natural resources, Myanmar is the new cornucopia of Asia. It is a global leader of rice, soy, corn and other crops, lumber-rich forests cover half its area, its vast rivers and coastlines teem with fish and even the ground beneath is full of precious stones, oil and natural gas.
With recent sweeping political and economic reforms, Myanmar is finally reaching its full economic potential. It has never been easier nor more lucrative to invest.

Reform and transformation
After the 2011 election, Myanmar’s new democratic government taken place and began reform processes based on the following economic policies:
  1. Sustaining agriculture development towards industrialization and all round development
  2. Balanced and proportionate development among states and regions
  3. Inclusive growth for entire population
  4. Quality of statistics and statistical system
To these ends, the government has implemented extensive economic reforms, including new laws and incentives for local and foreign investors, floating the Myanmar Kyat and liberalizing some state-owned enterprises including the telecommunications sector.
