US$100 MILLION LOAN TO YOMA STRATEGIC HOLDINGS TO HELP MYANMAR GET CONNECTED
YANGON, MYANMAR (16 December 2014) ? The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has approved a loan of up to US$100 million to Singapore-listed Yoma Strategic Holdings Ltd. (Yoma Strategic) to improve infrastructure connectivity needed for sustainable economic growth in Myanmar.
?Investment in connectivity infrastructure is a key factor in creating better access to economic opportunities, reducing costs, promoting trade, and attracting private investment into diverse geographic areas and sectors,? said Christopher Thieme, a Director in ADB?s Private Sector Operations Department. ?ADB is delighted to be supporting this important work with Yoma Strategic that will help acceleration of Myanmar's growth.?
Myanmar is one of the least-connected countries in the world in terms of telecommunication, transportation, and logistics. In 2012, fixed and mobile telecommunication line penetration rates stood at less than 1% and 7% of the population, respectively. The road density in Myanmar is less than one fifth the average in ASEAN countries. The country?s inland waterways network, which is important for freight traffic, is also underutilized due to an ageing fleet of vessels and neglected ports facilities.
Myanmar has been experiencing an influx of investors in recent years. Investments, however, have been concentrated in the oil, gas, and other mineral sectors, as well as light manufacturing. Private sector financing for much-needed infrastructure projects to boost connectivity remains a challenge due to an underdeveloped banking sector and capital market, and a lack of alternative funding sources.
The ADB loan will meet the gap for long-term commercial debt for infrastructure designed to enhance connectivity. It will be disbursed in two tranches, with Yoma Strategic engaging partner companies to work with it on individual infrastructure subprojects. The first tranche will be used to build telecommunication towers, develop cold storage logistics, and modernize vehicle fleet leasing the second will fund subprojects in transportation, distribution, logistics and other sectors.
?It is a privilege to be chosen by ADB as a partner to work on improving Myanmar?s infrastructure,? said Serge Pun, Executive Chairman of Yoma Strategic. ?ADB?s loan will help support our goal of improving the country?s connectivity, which in turn will strengthen local markets, boost productivity, and create jobs.?
Yoma Strategic has property, agriculture, tourism, automotive, and retail/F&B businesses in Myanmar. Its market capitalization was US$692 million, as of 2 December 2014. Executive Chairman Serge Pun owns around 37% of the company?s shares. The company ranks in the top 5% of Singapore Exchange-listed companies in the 2014 Governance and Transparency index.
ADB, based in Manila, is dedicated to reducing poverty in Asia and the Pacific through inclusive economic growth, environmentally sustainable growth, and regional integration. Established in 1966, it is owned by 67 members?48 from the region. In 2013, ADB assistance totaled US$21.0 billion, including cofinancing of US$6.6 billion

Haha Bro Rosesyrup is one of those I follow but I am not rosesyrup. And I believe you meant 56cents instead 54cents.

Even if it doesn' t hit 56 cents, it still prove Bro rosesyrup has much better foresight than DBS who shouted 90 cents.

Afterall current price is only 5cents about 56cents, less than 10% margin of error. This is pretty accrurate already.

Rosesyrup predicted 56cents exactly 1 year ago? Now seems very possible.

Rosesyrup ( Date: 02-Oct-2013 01:14) Posted:

Reiterate TP of 56cents. Current price highly overvalued, shorting encouraged!!!!

Short-term: Investors are eyeing better risk-reward opportunities in developed countries. Temporary lose interest in developing countries counters which have been overvalued over the past few years.

Mid-Term: Fed tapering is going to send a shock wave across Asia, interest rate hike and less affordable development projects in Myanmar.

Long term (biggest concern): Myanmar has developed too fast, powerful groups in the country are set to lose their power quickly and they have the incentive and power to overturn the current progress toward democracy. In fact I am speculating that Aung san suu kyi won't get a fair election.

Hope this helps those who seeked opinions.

?The announcement of the first KFC coming to Myanmar reflects our ongoing strategy of global expansion in emerging markets,? said Micky Pant, CEO, KFC. ?We?re excited to work with such a well-respected franchisee to bring the great taste of KFC to Myanmar, an important emerging Asian economy with a population of 50 million people.?
?Chicken is a staple protein in Myanmar and our people recognise the KFC brand and Colonel Sanders? secret Original Recipe of 11 herbs and spices. KFC is a strong global brand that is now in nearly every corner of the world and we are proud to be KFC?s franchise partner to help fulfill its growth ambitions in Myanmar. Bringing KFC to Myanmar is an important step to achieving Yoma Strategic?s goal in being a key player in the country?s food and beverage sector,? said Mr. Serge Pun, Executive Chairman of Yoma Strategic.
Myanmar is one of the potentially sizable consumer markets to emerge among developing economies. With 50 million people and a growing middle class with disposable income, the country offers significant consumer opportunity for Yoma Strategic to grow KFC over the long term.
?Myanmar offers significant macro potential for an international quick service franchise with a growing consumer class that is forecast to grow from 2.5 million today to 19 million in 2030,potentially tripling consumer spending by more than threefold1. In a regional context, Myanmar should experience a strong growth trajectory,? said Mr. Pun. ?The consumer and retail sector is key to Yoma Strategic?s strategy to capture the rapid increase in discretionary consumer spending in the country and KFC is the cornerstone of our business platform in this space.?
