Doing Business in Myanmar Dubbed ‘the final frontier’ after 5 decades of isolation, a stunning turn toward political reform is set to bring Myanmar back to the international stage. The IMF has forecasted Myanmar’s real GDP growth to increase from 5.5% in 2011-2012 to 6% in 2012-2013. Myanmar’s economy is set to thrive as it opens its economy to foreign direct investments. Diverse opportunities await Singapore companies that can support Myanmar’s growth and development.
