MYANMAR'S POTENTIAL
Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, Myanmar’s trade and economic growth is expected to remain positive supported by comprehensive economic and fiscal reforms, and spurred by rapid developments in the services and manufacturing sectors.
Holding vast untapped potential for trade and investment development, Myanmar opens up new economic horizons for domestic and international companies. The country’s location features access to maritime transportation routes as well as proximity to the biggest international markets with 40% of the world’s population. Moreover, it is rich in natural resources and offers production opportunities with low labour costs.
To realize its potential for economic growth, Myanmar has embarked on a process of economic policy reforms, strengthening implementation/coordination and compliance mechanisms, enabling the private sector, building specialized trade and investment skills and capacities, and improving business environment.

The decision to export to a new market involves market research, understanding international demand, and eventually strategic decision making about product design, pricing, promotion and distribution.
