Historic approval of a new business-friendly foreign investment law expected to boost Myanmar’s economy

Myanmar is seen by many investors as the next regional frontier market because of its huge natural resources, large population and strategic location between China and India.
However, to date, one of the major complaints of businesses eager to enter the country formerly known as Burma has been the lack of a clear legal framework.

Myanmar’s President Thein Sein has vowed to put the economy at the centre of a new series of reforms, following dramatic political changes. Last week’s approval of a new business-friendly foreign investment law is a historic milestone in this process.

Global corporate giants such as Coca-Cola and General Electric have already announced their intentions to invest in this new promising economy.

Royal HaskoningDHV are already present and active in Myanmar with port and industry related feasibility studies. Registration of our local representation is in process after which it is the intention to expand our local team to provide further support to projects in this promising country. Royal HaskoningDHV thrives on an already strong reputation in Myanmar through pre-sanction as well as post-sanction projects related to the Ayeryawaddy river as well as industrial projects.
