THOUGH Myanmar’s stock market is yet to be very active due to a lag in investor interest, another move is now under way to set up a derivatives market in the nation, according to a workshop held at the Yangon Stock Exchange (YSX) yesterday.

The Yangon Stock Exchange (YSX) expects its market capitalisation to reach US$20 billion by 2022, said Aung Thura, CEO of Myanmar-based advisory firm Thura Swiss.
