June’s investment went into production and hotel sectors, according to the Myanmar Directorate of Investment and Companies Administration (Dica). With the lifting of Western sanctions against the country, international giants such as Coca-Cola and Unilever have opened manufacturing operations in Myanmar, with other companies establishing sales outlets in the country, all with an eye on targeting the native Myanmar market.”
