Ayeyawady Region Investment Committee (ARIC) greenlit two foreign enterprises and six domestic projects made by Myanmar citizens with an estimated capital of US$5.6 million and K20.8 billion in April-August of the cur­rent financial year, creating 1,382 jobs for locals, according to ARIC Director U Thet Paing.

 

The region is suitable for agro-based industries, attracting domestic and foreign investors. Moreover, some investors eye cutting, making and pack­ing (CMP) garment businesses and ser­vice sectors in the region.

 

The committee is exerting con­tinuous efforts to spur investments, support existing businesses, entice new investors, increase job opportunities in the region, enhance the socio-economy of the local community, and endorse businesses that are in line with rules and regulations. — ASH/KK
