On November 3, 2026, the Directorate of Investment and Company Administration (DICA) announced that Myanmar had drawn more than $433 million in foreign direct investment (FDI) during the first half of the 2026‑27 fiscal year. The announcement came in Yangon, where officials detailed the flow of capital into the country’s key sectors.
According to DICA’s figures, the real‑estate sector was the top recipient of FDI, attracting $245 million between April and September. The transport and communication sector followed, receiving over $131 million, while the manufacturing sector brought in more than $29 million. These investments come as Myanmar seeks to rebuild its economy after years of political turmoil.
The report specifically named China and Singapore as the largest investors during the period, indicating a continued interest from these neighboring economies. The influx of Chinese capital is part of a broader strategy to support Myanmar’s infrastructure development, while Singaporean investors are focusing on commercial real‑estate projects within Yangon and Mandalay.
Officials at DICA said the investment drive aligns with the government’s efforts to promote a stable business environment and attract long‑term foreign partners. The data suggests that investors are bullish on Myanmar’s potential for growth, especially in real‑estate markets and transportation networks linked to regional trade corridors.
