Myanmar - is there a pot of gold to be found there?

Burma Redux by Ian Holliday

Myanmar or Burma is opening up to the outside world very quickly. Hungry to develop the country and pull the people out of poverty, the government has thrown open the doors to outside investment. While the changes are taking place by the week, this book gives a good basic understanding of what has happened in the last three years or so.

Written immediately after the watershed elections of 2010, this book is the first to be published recently. Though the angle is mainly political, Burma Redux gives good insight into what is going on in Myanmar today. Myanmar is going through reform. Businesses are anxious to enter this largely untapped market. Many questions hover in the minds of those who want to expand their business and help Myanmar's economy grow. What are some of the underlying issues involved? Ian Holliday affirms the importance of foreign interests in Myanmar's democratic awakening, yet only through committed, grassroots strategies of engagement encompassing foreign states, international aid agencies, and global corporations, can this take place.

Myanmar is the newest land of opportunity

This recent article is a reality check for those wanting to take the plunge in Myanmar. Lots of opportunities abound, but lack of infrastructure and a skilled workforce can be a great deterrent or hindrance to productivity. The positive side is that the government has just opened its doors, so regulations and laws are still subject to change, which gives the investor an opportunity to help shape this nation.
