EU investment mapping in Lao PDR

The EU has been mapping the European firms' presence, impact and barriers internationally since 2019. These "EU investment mappings" are done by the European Commission (DG INTPA) and EU Delegations worldwide in close collaboration with the EU embassies and chambers of commerce in-country.

These mappings help the EU to listen to the private sector's needs and frame their programmes accordingly.

This mapping includes data on:

• EU-Lao PDR economic overview
• EU business presence in Lao PDR
• EU business' economic impact in Lao PDR
• EU business' social impact in Lao PDR
• Key challenges for the EU firms doing business in Lao PDR

Data show the EU firms own replies as communicated to the European Commission via an official survey and interviews. These replies do not always represent the EU views and the European Commission decline responsibility. To protect the firms' data, only aggregated figures are displayed.
