Dramatic changes afoot in Myanmar have whet the appetite of foreign investors who are eyeing a slice of the frontier market's rich and large economic potential. Notwithstanding the long road still ahead, Myanmar’s political changes in recent months have been breathtaking. The lightning-fast pace of reforms has so far included renewed ties with the US, luring investors with 8-year tax break, plus imminent lifting of EU and US sanctions.
