The Country Myanmar is arguably the last economic frontier in Asia. Every private,

The statistics show the enormous potential for growth and business opportunities:

semi-government and government sector is decades behind in development when compared to Myanmar’s peers in ASEAN.

Population:

54 Million

Literacy:

90%

Natural gas reserves:

40th out of 206 countries

GDP Real Growth Rate:

5.3%

GDP (PPP):

79th out of 226 countries

GDP per Capita:

201 out of 226 countries

Internet Users:

110,000

Mobile phones per Capita:

215 out of 217 countries

What sets Myanmar apart from other underdeveloped countries in Asia or the world for that matter are the facts that they are resource rich (oil & gas, minerals, timber, agricultural products etc.), have a large, relatively young population with huge domestic demand also providing a source of cheap labour. The positive political developments are trending towards the lifting of most sanctions imposed by the US and the EU, probably in late April or May 2012. The hype can be found in many press releases and investment gurus:

Currently a whole host of new laws and regulations are in the pipeline: Some of these are:

•  Investors aim to reap benefits of Myanmar reforms – AFP •  Yangon attracting Western interest – Realty Biz News •  Myanmar has a high growth potential..... – IMF •  “If you can find ways to invest in Myanmar you will be very, very rich over the next 20, 30, 40 years.” – Jim Rogers

§ Investment law with attractive tax incentives § Banking reform and opening of the finance sector to foreigners § Managing the Kyat exchange rate to a realistic level

There are of course risks and uncertainties. On the other hand the long

§ Telecommunication licences to be issued

term investor will find attractive rewards. GBP International has spent

§ Healthcare, Tourism, Education earmarked for foreign investment

years developing serious contacts in Myanmar and has identified many investment opportunities such as the one shown in this presentation. 2
