Myanmar BUSINESS AND DEVELOPMENT WEEK

23-27 September 2013| Yangon | Myanmar

Venue: The Union of Myanmar Federation of Chambers of Commerce and Industry No.29, Min Ye Kyawswa Road, Lanmadaw Township

Overview ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Against the backdrop of Myanmar’s recent and ongoing fast pace of political and economic liberalization and increased level of openness towards the international community, the Government of Myanmar is seeking to keep this positive momentum going. In order to do so, the Myanmar Government has rightly recognized the importance of the private sector as an integral part for Myanmar’s further socio-economic development, particularly the catalytic potential of business and investment as contributing forces for sustainable and inclusive growth, employment creation, including for women and the youth, income generation and poverty alleviation. It is against this backdrop that ESCAP secretariat, ESCAP Business Advisory Council (EBAC) and the United Nations Trade and Productive Capacity Cluster are organizing the five-day Myanmar Business and Development Week with and at the Union of Myanmar Federation of Chambers of Commerce and Industry (UMFCCI) in Yangon from 23 to 27 September 2013. This event would provide a very timely and needed opportunity to convene a number of Myanmar focused technical workshops with business representatives, government officials, representatives from international agencies and civil society organizations, and academics. The participants would have the opportunity to strengthen their skills and increase their knowledge in all matters pertinent to business, trade and investment through numerous sessions conducted by professionals and experts. Furthermore, participants can build new and strengthen already existing networks and actively engage with other participants, professionals and experts over the course of the week.

Objective ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

This very first Myanmar Business and Development Week is primarily aiming to further build and strengthen the capacity of Myanmar’s private sector and equip the Government of Myanmar with the appropriate tools and knowledge to create a supportive business environment and implement business, trade and investment policies, strategies and actions, all in support of Myanmar’s inclusive and sustainable development. While ESCAP secretariat, EBAC and the United Nations Trade and Productive Capacity Cluster are the key driving forces in organizing the Week, generous and primary financial support is coming from the Government of Japan and from the Government of the Republic of Korea (ROK). ESCAP has technical expertise, country specific and contextual knowledge with regards to the business, trade and investment environment in Myanmar. This was further supported by recent missions undertaken by ESCAP to Myanmar with OECD and with partners of the United Nations Trade and Productive Capacity Cluster (i.e. ITC, UNIDO and UNCTAD), focusing on advisory services in the areas of foreign direct investments, SME development and a review of the existing business environment. Furthermore, the Week is an excellent opportunity to complement ESCAP’s work in the area of private sector development in region. With the kind and generous support from the Government of Japan, ESCAP can look back over two decades of active involvement in fostering private sector development in the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS), including Myanmar. Now, with its ongoing project of Business for Development “Capacity building of SMEs in the Greater Mekong Subregion for their effective penetration into regional and global markets”, ESCAP trying to promote cross-border production linkages and thereby also supports Myanmar’s businesses to access new markets.
