"THE 2nd Myanmar–OECD Investment Policy Review (IPR) was held on 23 June at the Ministry of Investment and Foreign Economic Relations. In his opening remarks, U Thaung Tun, Union Minister for Investment and Foreign Economic Relations welcomed the Review’s findings and noted that investment policies have been revised to ensure a level playing field for all investors and to create a favourable, predictable and friendly investment climate in Myanmar.
