Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar seen offering big investment opportunities

11 April 2014

Business International Monitor said Thursday that Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar were expected to outperform their regional peers in terms of real economic growth in the longer term.
 
In a statement, the London-based firm said the three countries would offer "substantial opportunities for investors over the coming decade, as their economies grow rapidly and become more integrated with the world economy.

With corporates and investors increasingly looking to fast-growing frontier markets for growth, they will present promising opportunities across a wide array of sectors including mining, oil and gas, banking, textiles, tourism, and agribusiness.

The statement said the firm's recently-published report on Cambodia, Laos and Mynamar "addresses the long-term economic outlooks for these three countries, which we expect will outperform their regional peers in terms of real GDP growth." The report also considers the political trajectory of the three countries adding that one-party rule was "often positive for political continuity and policy certainty. At the same time, however, it "raises questions over the inclusiveness of the political process, as well as the risks to foreign investors of political upheaval."
