Myanmar Summit (Yangon, Myanmar)

Event Date: 
Friday, May 15, 2015 -
9:00am to 6:00pm

The Myanmar summit’s focus is to examine the “state of play” for the country’s economy and political system and its implications for business and investors. Myanmar has recently opened up for foreign direct investment after nearly 50 years of isolation. Yet in the run-up to the 2015 general elections, it remains unclear to just what extent the reforms are really changing existing power structures in the country. Therefore, the main question that will be addressed in the summit will be how much progress has really been made in the years since the country’s reform. The sumit also will examine the country’s economic prospects, the extent to which the country face infrastructure gaps, and building Myanmar's financial architecture.
