There are chances that this might be overruled in the near future in the face of mounting domestic and foreign pressure. This report analyzes the political and economic scenario in Myanmar and its impact on both domestic and foreign investments. It also examines the social and technological trends along with legal and environmental factors that shape the country’s business environment. Moreover, it provides an in-depth analysis of the factors that influence key strategic business and investment decision making in Myanmar.
