Myanmar now has the fastest-growing economy in ASEAN, and is seen as a source of regional strength and a destination of opportunity. Further liberalisation is planned, international investment is expected to remain strong and the domestic economy is becoming increasingly efficient.

Three major sectors that are considered important and attracted most investors are construction industry, energy industry and mining industry. The construction industry is set to become a major growth driver of Myanmar’s economy. Residential real estatewill remain the chief engine of growth, though a large infrastructure deficit and rising congestion in Yangon will also contribute to more construction activity.With the infrastructure and industrial demand rapidly expanding, the energy market in Myanmar looks promising. The country is in great need of electricity generation capacity, opening ample investment opportunities.Myanmar is endowed with world-class mineral resources, yet many are still waiting to be explored. Therefore, there is a potential for high returns for mineral companies willing to commit to Myanmar.Moreover, the government has put a priority in mineral policy; aiming to boost production and to invite participation in terms of technical know-how and investment from around the world
