INTRODUCTION Figure 1-1 Thilawa SEZ Location Map 1.1 Context The Thilawa Special Economic Zone (SEZ) covers approximately 2,400 hectares (ha) within Yangon South District, Yangon Region, Myanmar. The site is 23 kilometres (kms) by road from downtown Yangon. The two townships most directly linked to the Thilawa SEZ development are Thanlyin and Kyauktan Townships (Figure 1-1). Announced in January 2011, the Thilawa SEZ has been continuously developed since November 2014. Phase 1 (Zone A) of the SEZ (the initial 400 ha) commenced operation in September 2015. Development of the remaining 2,000 ha of the SEZ is to be phased. The Phase 1 (Zone A) extension commenced in early 2016. Development of Zone B of the SEZ commenced in early 2017. ` The Thilawa SEZ incorporates the Myanmar International Terminals Thilawa (MITT), a deep-sea port facility built in the mid-1990s. Development of the Thilawa SEZ aligns with the Government of Myanmar (GoM)’s focus on sustainable economic development and re-structuring of the Myanmar economy; from primary dependence on agriculture, forestry and fisheries to include labour-intensive industries such as manufacturing and services. The Thilawa SEZ is the first SEZ to be developed in Myanmar. Other SEZs are planned in Dawei, Tanintharyi Region and Kyauk Phyu, Rakhine State. In December 2016, the Yangon Region Chief Minister announced the intention to build a second SEZ in southern Yangon Region from 2018.
