Optimism was a word seldom used to describe emerging economies in 2016, but this looks set to change in 2017 – at least to some extent.

In recent years trade and investment in Myanmar have soared, buoyed by ongoing efforts to liberalise the economy and a successful political transition in November 2015 that saw the country’s first civilian-led government elected to power in modern history. Political reforms have brought significant economic benefits and with a host of domestic reforms, sustained growth is expected. While the country still faces challenges, including a transport infrastructure deficit and a lack of reliable electricity supply, it is seen as a destination of opportunity, and international investment is expected to remain strong in the coming years.

Leveraging its strategic location, Oman has invested in infrastructure with the goal of becoming a global logistics centre. While the country is less hydrocarbons-rich than its GCC neighbours, diversification efforts are a driving force behind its economic growth. The sultanate’s long-term development strategy, Oman Vision 2020, emphasises industrialisation, privatisation and Omanisation, and resulted in a real GDP growth rate of 3.3% in 2015. At the same time, foreign direct investment inflows have risen from $739m in 2014 to an estimated $822m in 2015.
