e) Suggestion to the Hpa-an IZ
・ The present status of the Hpa-an IZ is assumed to be at the same stage of development as that of the phase 1 in the north area of the Myawaddy IZ - installation of the retarding pond and the management office, with installation of the non-residential facilities, i.e. for water supply, water treatment, water courses, residents, park, and training still forthcoming.
・ As the Hpa-an IZ is located near the harbor facility in Mawlamyine; it can utilize the existing water distribution system. Completing the East West Economic Corridor will expand the distribution areas to Yangon but also into Thailand.
・ Therefore the Hpa-an IZ should build-out the non-residential facilities, similar to the Myawaddy IZ, after Phase 2N in the north area as soon as possible, and invite Domestic Direct Investment (DDI) and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI).
