Myanmar hunts EU investment
Play
Myanmar and the European Union are working on details of the agreement on promotion and protection of investment, according to the Directorate of Investment and Company Administration (DICA).
The latest discussion took place in the last week of May in Yangon, attended by the Myanmar-EU Investment Coordination Team and DICA’s director general, EU ambassador to Myanmar Roland Kobia and a leader of the coordination team, Carlo Pettinato.
It is hoped an agreement will allow an influx of EU investment.
China is by far the largest investor in Myanmar with very little currently coming from the EU.
Until the end of April this fiscal year, foreign investment exceeded US$56 billion, with oil and natural gas the main targets followed by the energy sector, according to the DICA.
