Myanmar, as Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) Chair, has done well to ensure that achieving the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) 2015 goal has remained a top priority on the region’s agenda.

With the AEC deadline looming, Myanmar is throwing all its efforts into modernizing the Myanmar economy. The results have been positive. For the previous 2013/14 financial year, Myanmar’s economy attracted US$3.5 billion  in foreign direct investment, and a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth rate of an estimated 7.5 per cent. The country expects to receive US$4 billion in FDI in the 2014/15 financial year, and for its GDP to hit 7.75 per cent.

With companies racing to get a foothold on the newly opened economy, Andy Saputra looks at the potential and the challenges still remains there.
