REGULATION, INFRASTRUCTURE HINDER MYANMAR'S TELECOM AMBITIONS

Topics: Infrastructure      Information Technology

Myanmar may be one of the few relatively untapped telecommunications market left in the world and its once-reclusive government is now opening up the sector for foreign investments. However, telcos and service providers need to tread with care given the hazy regulatory framework and lack of infrastructure for foreign players to scale their operations. Irene Ng, head of Asia at GSM Association (GSMA), noted that there are not many greenfield telecom markets available today, and Myanmar was an...

YANGON—Myanmar’s new information minister on Sunday predicted newspapers would be able to publish daily from early 2013, heralding fresh reform for a sector recently freed from decades of draconian censorship.

Topics: FDI in Myanmar      

The law, approved by President Thein Sein on Friday, had gone back and forth between the legislative and executive branches since March in a tussle involving a government eager to attract foreign investment, tycoons determined to protect their monopolies, and small businesses keen not to be shut out. Thein Sein took office in March 2011 at the head of a quasi-civilian government that brought almost 50 years of military rule to an end. He has undertaken economic and political reforms that...

YANGON—Myanmar’s main airport is expected to exceed passenger capacity this year, officials said Monday, as an influx of visitors to the once-isolated nation prompts plans for a new international flight hub. Arrivals at Yangon International Airport are expected to surge to around 3 million in 2012, a 22 percent increase on last year that puts it above its 2.7 million threshold, according to the Department of Civil Aviation (DCA). “We need a new airport because the increasing traffic at...

YANGON, Myanmar (AP) — Alisher Ali knew on the morning of his second day in Myanmar that the long-closed country was a risk worth taking. Less than two months later he moved his wife and four children to crumbling, tree-lined Yangon and opened Myanmar's first-ever investment bank with $1 million of his own money. This places him in sparse company. While many chatter about the economic potential of one of the world's last frontier markets, very few foreigners have actually set up shop. The...

BANGKOK—Strong economic growth could lift Myanmar to the rank of middle income nation by 2030 if the formerly army-ruled country overcomes a host of reform challenges, the Asian Development Bank said Monday.

In an exclusive interview with OilPrice.com, Jim Rogers declared Myanmar to be the best investment opportunity in the world, with North Korea not far behind.
