Myanmar Seeking to Turn Tide of Investment, Manufacturing
Myanmar's economy is slowly emerging from the crippling affects of decades of military rule, where a poorly-managed resources industry dominated much of the country’s trade.

Boosted by President Barack Obama’s recent removal of executive sanctions on Myanmar, the country’s garment industry is on the rise. Daniel de Carteret reports for VOA from Yangon, Myanmar.
