LOCAL IPAS
Local IPAs can be either at provincial or city level: major cities could have
their own IPA (e.g. Mandalay)
Local IPAs can be a division of an economic policy department in the
local administration or a larger investment department
Ideally, in more developed countries/localities, the local IPA has a high
degree of autonomy but coordinates with the national IPA to ensure
consistency in investment policy
However, autonomy is more expensive and perhaps not yet suitable for
Myanmar
Budget for local IPA can range from $100,000 (small division) to over $1
million for full autonomous IPA
