   Myanmar: 27.2 billions US$;Indonesia:511.8 billions US$;Phillipines:168.6 billion dollars
GDP of Myanmar is the lowest.
Myanmar banks introduce Debit card and other asean countries have  credit cards.
With the help of low interest loan of official development assistance(ODA)  from Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA),five-year plans of the State sector-wise and region-wise programmes would be effectively implemented for fulfilling people's needs.The today's coordination is to implemet people centered development in line with thepolicy of JICA and to draw priority plans agreed by two sides,said Union Minister at the President Office U Tin Naing Thein at the 
coordination meeting for implementation projects in regions and states with the use of low interest loan assisted by official development assistance at the meeting hall of National Planning and Economic Development Ministry on 24 September.

PYI DAUNG SU  HLUTTAW PASSED MYANMAR INVESTMENT LAW

On September 7,Pyi Daung Su Hluttaw passed boldly and submitted to President U Thein Sein.The Pyi Daung Su Hluttaw cut  the US$5-million minimum capital needed for Joint Ventures and put the maximum share which the foreign firms can hold in 13 restricted sectors by one percent up to fifty percent.

The Hluttaw removed a clause that said Myanmar citizens had the right to offer to buy ou a foreign investor "if they have the ability to buy and acquire by way of compensation at market rate during the original life of the contract or its extended life if the extebded life is allowed."
This revised  law is more favourable to foreign firms than the last draft.
But the investment in small-to medium-scale enterprises are still limited,because domestic businessmen urged to limit SME.
And it is confirmed that the foreign investments could not be nationalised
