According to Myanmar’s Global New Light newspaper on April 14, sectors with state investment include security and defence, arms and ammunition for national defence, national stamps, post, aviation, afforestation and natural forest management (except businesses relating to reduction of carbon emission), radioactive metals such as uranium and electricity.
Meanwhile, 12 sectors are open for foreign investment, including fresh water fisheries and relevant services, publishing and distribution of periodicals in ethnic languages.
As many as 135 foreign investors poured over 6.8 billion USD into Myanmar in the last fiscal year which ended in March, bringing the total foreign investment in the Southeast Asian nation since late 1988 to 70.35 billion USD.
