[Myanmar] Suu Kyi Says Investment In Burma Held Back By Law Uncertainty, Infrastructure

Aung San Suu Kyi says poor infrastructure and legal limbo are serving as a bottleneck to investment in Burma, according to Bloomberg. The opposition leader said “foreign investment is increasing more in theory than in actual fact,†on Wednesday while on a weeklong visit to Japan, adding that greater clarity on foreign investment laws would reassure companies considering setting up shop in Burma. While Burma has seen swelling investor interest since a raft of reforms was instituted beginning in 2011, much of that interest was only preliminary and contingent upon ensuring a more attractive investment climate, Suu Kyi said.
