The Legal Committee of the American
Chamber of Commerce in Myanmar invite you to attend a meeting on “New Myanmar
Investment Law: Opportunities for Foreign Investors” on Monday, 20 June 2016 at
8:30-9:30 am at DFDL’s office in Yangon.
The legal environment of Myanmar is still in its early stages of reform and modernization.
The Myanmar government has made progress and continues to draft new laws
including the Investment Law. The draft
Investment Law is designed to replace the Foreign Investment Law of 2012 and
the Myanmar Citizen Investment Law of 2013.
The law and its implementing regulations are of great importance for
foreign companies investing in Myanmar.
Following several rounds of public consultations on early drafts and posting on
DICA’s website for comment, the government is in the process of finalizing the
draft for submission to parliament. Therefore, your participation will be
greatly valued as you will have an opportunity to provide your contributions on
this important topic.
