Economic liberalization post 2011

In March 2012, a draft foreign investment law emerged, the first in more than 2 decades. Foreigners may start the business with a local partner to 70% (Foreign): 30%(Local) share ratio in the country, and will be able to legally lease but not own property. The draft law also stipulates that Myanmar citizens must constitute at least 25% of the firm's skilled workforce, and with subsequent training, up to 50-75%.

In 2012, the Asian Development Bank formally began re-engaging with the country, to finance infrastructure and development projects in the country. The United States, Japan and the European Union Countries have also begun to reduce or eliminate economic sanctions to allow foreign direct investment which will provide the Myanmar government with additional tax revenue.
