Investment in oil, natural gas, and the power sector, coupled with increases in tourism, construction, and exports, continue to drive Myanmar's growth.
The investment environment has improved following reforms to unify multiple exchange rates and an easing of economic sanctions imposed on Myanmar by industrialized countries.
Considering these factors, GDP is forecast to continue to see steady growth ahead. Risks to growth momentum include a slower-than-expected progress in key economic reforms and possible adverse impact on trade, investment, and tourism.
