Securities Trading Support
Consulting services related to securities trading
In October 2015, Myanmar's first stock market, the Yangon Stock Exchange, was established on the site of the central bank and myawadi bank headquarters. Initially, only Myanmar nationals could trade securities, but on July 12, 2019, the Myanmar Securities and Exchange Commission (SECM) announced that it would allow foreigners to trade on the Yangon Stock Exchange (YSX).
Both residents and non-residents are eligible, and both individuals and corporations can open securities accounts and buy and sell shares.
Currently, the seven companies listed on the Yangon Stock Exchange are as follows:
| Company Name | Listing date |

Flow of stock purchases
You must first select your preferred securities company and listed company.
After selection, we will receive the necessary documents and information from the customer and prepare the application documents.
Then, open an account at the bank and securities company of your choice.
Once the account is opened, the central bank approves the remittance and transfers capital from overseas.
From March 2020, foreigners can also open bank accounts and securities accounts, but you will need to come to Myanmar when opening.
One person cannot have more than one securities account.
In addition, funds transferred for securities transactions can not be returned to a foreign country within one year.
