Two stocks are listing on the new laos stock exhange that opened this year. Banque Pour Le Commerce Extereiur Lao, or BCEL, and, EDL-Generation Co both offer interesting exposure. More state-controlled businesses could be listed within a few years, and the market could end up with 10 or 15 companies listed.

Thailand, Vietnam and China are growing power demand rapidly, and Laos, with its network of fast-flowing rivers, is viewed as a "hydropower play".
