Burma
When compared to its neighbours Burma is an underdeveloped market, but one of considerable potential. Burma’s key selling points are its natural resources; strategic location between India, China and South-East Asia; and young workforce. As a member of ASEAN its stands to benefit from the bloc’s increasing economic integration, 500 million population and GDP in excess of US$ 700 billion. In FY 2012/3 Burma’s GDP grew 6.3% (ADB) and it is expected to grow by at least 6.5% for each of the next two years.
