Myanmar Thilawa SEZ Holdings, the developer of Thilawa Special Economic Zone, is preparing to list on the Myanmar Stock Exchange at the end of May, the second company to go public.
The company has completed preparations to list, and the Yangon Stock Exchange is expected to give it the green light, according to the Nikkei Asian Review on April 29.
The company was established in 2013 by nine local companies, including real estate developers. It is building a roughly 400-hectare industrial park in Thilawa, southeast of Yangon, with Japanese trading houses Mitsubishi Corp., Marubeni and Sumitomo Corp.
Myanmar Thilawa SEZ Holdings does not plan to issue any new shares when going public but will have the option of doing so to raise funds in the future.
