Attend the upcoming NEW Myanmar Investment Summit 2013 in Yangon on 28-29 January 2013 for assessment of the key clauses and new developments of the foreign investment law (FIL) passed in November.

Director-General of DICA, U Aung Naing Oo as well as Director & Foreign Consulting Attorney of Kelvin Chia Yangon, Ms Cheah Swee Gim, will share their perspectives on the FIL and advise on the following during the session on "New Foreign Investment Laws":

• Foreign ownership and restricted sectors
  - What can you do to increase your percentage in accessing the sectors? What are the forms of investment?
  - JV, partnership or fully-owned investment in restricted and unrestricted sectors? What are the requirements?
• Clauses relating to land leases, tax incentives & repatriating funds
  - How should you go about handling them?
• Foreign investment approval process and procedure
  - What should you look out for and who are the approval authorities?
• Prospects of M&A
  - What strategies should you consider and how do you go about implementing them?
• Roles of DICA and MIC

Dr. Sein Maung, Chairman of First Private Bank, Daw Mae Thi Lynn, Director of Union Attorney General's Office, and Mr. Yoshiyuki Morii, Chief Representative of Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp will also be joining the session as panelists. Gain more insights and better analysis of Myanmar's financial infrastructure through the views of a foreign bank, and what encouraging improvements will be seen in the next few years.

Another highlight that you should not miss is the DICA/MIC Clinic! Held at the end of Day 1, four DICA officials have confirmed their presence at the clinic to answer your queries and concerns.
