A total of 14 new investment projects—valued at approximately USD 57.295 million and MMK 45.502 billion, and expected to create around 4,200 jobs—have been approved, according to official information.
The approval was granted during the Myanmar Investment Commission’s (6/2025) meeting held on December 8 at Meeting Room No. 5 in Nay Pyi Taw.
Union Minister U Myat Thun Oo, Chairman of the Myanmar Investment Commission, along with commission members, attended the meeting.
During the session, approvals were given for capital increases for six ongoing investment projects, five new foreign investment projects in the industrial sector, and nine new Myanmar-owned investment projects across the industrial, hotel and tourism, and services sectors.
These projects amount to a total investment of USD 57.295 million and MMK 45.502 billion, and are expected to generate employment for 4,119 people.
The approved projects include operations currently in high demand within the country, such as assembly and manufacturing of electric three-wheelers and motor tricycles, assembly of various types of vehicles, education service enterprises, food production businesses, and garment factories—an industry noted for its ability to create large numbers of jobs.
As of the end of November 2025, among the 53 countries and regions that have invested in Myanmar, Singapore, China, and Thailand remain the top investors. Among 12 economic sectors, the highest investments are recorded in the electricity sector (28.28% of total FDI), the oil and gas sector (24.65%), and the industrial sector (14.60%).
