NOTES:

- With a total of $13.6 billion from 64 projects, the oil

and gas sector has attracted the largest share of total foreign

investment in Myanmar

- Myanmar exported $3.7 billion worth of gas mainly to

neighbouring Thailand in the 2012-2013 (April/March) fiscal

year, up from $3.5 billion in 2011-2012 and $2.4 billion in

2008-2009.

- Proceeds from the sale of gas are expected to climb later

this fiscal year following the start of operations of a pipeline

from western Rakhine state on the Bay of Bengal to China.
