Myanmar is ranked 171 among 190 countries in the ease of doing business 2018, and the government therefore will be trying to improve the ranking by implementing a national investment plan, according to the Ministry of Planning and Finance.

Under the ongoing Myanmar investment plan, the country has expected to reach somewhere below 100th ranking in the ease of doing business by 2020-2021 fiscal year.
