While trade growth in Myanmar will slow modestly in 2018, this is attributable to base effects following extraordinarily fast growth seen previously. The general trend over the course of our forecast period to 2022 is for the rapid and ongoing expansion of trade in the country. Trade levels will jump from USD38.7bn in 2018 to USD64bn by end of 2022. Massive investment in infrastructure will provide a boost, given the need to transport the associated goods. Over the longer term, infrastructure investment will support the growth of other sectors as freight transport becomes more efficient. Massive investments by Japanese freight and logistics companies into Myanmar will support the fortunes of the nascent freight forwarding industry out to 2022. Air freight will grow by 3.9%, road freight by 8.40% and rail freight by 0.8% in 2018.
