This EIC series of publications not only serves as a policy-oriented research paper, but also as a reference for all readers who wish to gain a snapshot of the Cambodian economy or monitor its development. As in previous issues, this edition presents the latest economic performance and prospects based on the analysis of current data from many reliable sources. It takes an in-depth look at the trends of the main economic indicators and the progress of reform policies. It also highlights the urgent measures that need to be taken to address any of the problems encountered. In brief, the global crisis seems to show its severe impact on Cambodia since the last quarter of 2008. Thus, Cambodia’s economic growth rate slowed significantly in 2008 due to slower growth of garment industry, construction sector and tourism. These trends are likely to carry over 2009, and thus a lower economic growth rate is also expected accordantly. We would like to thank the World Bank for its generous support. Special thanks to Chea Huot and his team for their invaluable comments, to Dane Hor and EIC research assistants for their excellent assistance, to all EIC staff for their enthusiasm, and to other institutions and individuals too numerous to list. Sok Hach, Director Economic Institute of Cambodia vi EIC - Cambodia Economic Watch – April 2009 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Economic Growth The global crisis started its severe impact on Cambodia during the last quarter of 2008, especially on the garment industry, tourism and construction. Cambodia economic growth was only about 5.2 percent in 2008, which was down from a growth rate of 10.2 percent in 2007. The 2008 growth gained support from the moderate increase in foreign tourists, garment and banking business during the first half of 2008. The growth rate of the construction and real estate significantly slowed down in 2008. Other sectors kept their moderate growth with a slightly lower pace. Cambodia’s economy still largely depends on foreign trade, tourists and investments. In the US, EU, and Korea the global economic crisis seems to continue its effect in 2009, thus Cambodia’s economic growth rate is also expected to slow down to about 2 percent in 2009. The garment industry would decline because the global demand, especially the US and EU, is declining and the safeguarding measures imposed by the US and EU against Chinese export have expired. The construction and real estate activities would also decline significantly and have a negative growth rate as many residential and mega construction activities are being frozen and the bubble of residential prices is popping. The decline of these activities is likely to affect some commercial banks that invested and provided loans or credit in these sectors. The number of foreign tourist arrivals in Cambodia is also slim for 2009 as global revenue is declining. The agricultural sector appears to be the main source of growth for 2009, but unpredictable and slim as it is still dependent on weather conditions and agro- investment remains moderate.

  • Rural Development for Cambodia Key Issues and Constraints
    Rural Development for Cambodia Key Issues and Constraints Cambodia’s economic performance over the past decade has been impressive, and poverty reduction has made significant progress. In the 2000s, the contribution of agriculture and agro-industry to overall economic growth has come largely through the accumulation of factors of production—land and labor—as part of an extensive growth of activity, with productivity modestly improving from very low levels. Despite these generally positive signs, there is justifiable concern about Cambodia’s ability to seize the opportunities presented. The concern is that the existing set of structural and institutional constraints, unless addressed by appropriate interventions and policies, will slow down economic growth and poverty reduction. These constraints include (i) an insecurity in land tenure, which inhibits investment in productive activities; (ii) low productivity in land and human capital; (iii) a business-enabling environment that is not conducive to formalized investment; (iv) underdeveloped rural roads and irrigation infrastructure; (v) a finance sector that is unable to mobilize significant funds for agricultural and rural development; and (vi) the critical need to strengthen public expenditure management to optimize scarce resources for effective delivery of rural services. About the Asian Development Bank ADB’s vision is an Asia and Pacific region free of poverty. Its mission is to help its Rural Development developing member countries reduce poverty and improve the quality of life of their people. Despite the region’s many successes, it remains home to two-thirds of the world’s poor: 1.8 billion people who live on less than $2 a day, with 903 million for Cambodia struggling on less than $1.25 a day.

  • Malaria in the Greater Mekong Subregion
    his report provides an overview of the epidemiological patterns of malaria in the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) Tfrom 1998 to 2007, and highlights critical challenges facing National Malaria Control Programmes and partners as they move towards malaria elimination as a programmatic goal. Epidemiological data provided by malaria programmes show a drastic decline in malaria deaths and confirmed malaria cases over the last 10 years in the GMS. More than half of confirmed malaria cases and deaths in the GMS occur in Myanmar. However, reporting methods and data management are not comparable between countries despite the effort made by WHO to harmonize data collection, analysis and reporting among Member States. Malaria is concentrated in forested/forest-fringe areas of the Region, mainly along international borders. This providing a strong rationale to develop harmonized cross-border elimination programmes in conjunction with national efforts. Across the Mekong Region, the declining efficacy of recommended first-line antimalarials, e.g. artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) against falciparum malaria on the Cambodia-Thailand border; the prevalence of counterfeit and substandard antimalarial drugs; the Malaria lack of health services in general and malaria services in particular in remote settings; and the lack of information and services in the Greater Mekong Subregion: targeting migrants and mobile population present important barriers to reach or maintain malaria elimination programmatic Regional and Country Profiles goals.

Copyright ©WWF-Greater Mekong, 2016 2 Foreword Water is liquid capital that flows through the economy as it does FOREWORD through our rivers and lakes. Regionally, the Mekong River underpins our agricultural g systems, our energy production, our manufacturing, our food security, our ecosystems and our wellbeing as humans. The Mekong River Basin is a vast landscape, deeply rooted, for thousands of years, in an often hidden water-based economy. From transportation and fish protein, to some of the most fertile crop growing regions on the planet, the Mekong’s economy has always been tied to the fortunes of the river. Indeed, one only need look at the vast irrigation systems of ancient cities like the magnificent Angkor Wat, to witness the fundamental role of water in shaping the ability of this entire region to prosper. In recent decades, the significant economic growth of the Lower Mekong Basin countries Cambodia, Laos, Thailand and Viet Nam — has placed new strains on this river system. These pressures have the ability to impact the future wellbeing including catalysing or constraining the potential economic growth — if they are not managed in a systemic manner. Indeed, governments, companies and communities in the Mekong are not alone in this regard; the World Economic Forum has consistently ranked water crises in the top 3 global risks facing the economy over the coming 15 years.

  • Khmer-Kampuchea Krom, Montagnards, Land Claims, Religious Persecution, Excessive Violence and Torture, Arbitrary Arrests, Forced Repatriation
    Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization (UNPO) Submission to the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights Universal Periodic Review: Cambodia Executive summary: Indigenous peoples, Khmer-Kampuchea Krom, Montagnards, land claims, religious persecution, excessive violence and torture, arbitrary arrests, forced repatriation. Khmer-Kampuchea Krom 5 1. Introduction The Khmers from Kampuchea-Krom, also known as Khmer Krom, are an indigenous people comprising a majority in Cambodia. There is also a significant population of Khmers living in the Mekong River delta region of Viet Nam. 10 Despite regional ties and a close relationship fostered with the peoples living in Cambodia, the territory of the Khmer Krom was incorporated into Viet Nam, rather than Cambodia. As a result, the Khmer Krom peoples are viewed in Viet Nam as Khmer and in Cambodia as Vietnamese. In addition, under the Presidency of Ngo Dinh Diem (1955 – 1963) all Khmer names were changed into Vietnamese, forever altering Khmer identity. The Khmer continue 15 to face persecution in Cambodia because of the assumption of their “foreignness”, despite their ancestral ties to Cambodia. Forced repatriations of Khmer, which are often simply deportations as many Khmer have been living within Cambodia for several generations, to Viet Nam by the Cambodian government are commonplace. The Khmers Kampuchea-Krom Foundation (KKF) is an international organisation dedicated 20 to the defence of the fundamental rights and the cultural legacy of the Khmer Krom. The Federation has been a Member of the Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization (UNPO) since 2001. 2. Land Rights Claims 25 During 2007, some 150,000 Cambodians, including over 20,000 residents around Phnom Penh's Boeung Kak Lake, were forcibly evicted and lost land, homes and livelihoods following land disputes and land grabbing.

  • Findings from the Cambodia Socio‐Economic Survey (CSES)
    2009 48618 Public Disclosure Authorized poverty profile and trend in Cambodia findings from the 2007 Cambodia Socio‐ Economic Survey (CSES) This report provides updated poverty estimates for Cambodia using newly available data from the 2007 Cambodia Socio‐Economic Survey (CSES). The report finds that poverty reduction observed over the previous decade (1994‐ Public Disclosure Authorized 2004) continued over the period 2004 to 2007. Over these three years, the poverty headcount index for Cambodia as a whole relative to the overall poverty line fell from 34.8% in 2004 to 30.1% in 2007. The decline in poverty during this period reflects substantial and statistically significant growth in real per capita household consumption (the measure of living standards used in Cambodia). This increase (averaging 21 percent for the population as a whole) was driven by rates of economic growth during these years that exceeded 10 percent per annum. The picture of welfare improvements amongst the bottom two quintiles is reinforced by improvements in a wide range of variables related to ownership of consumer durables, service delivery and human development outcomes. However, rapid economic growth between 2004 and 2007 has been associated not only with falling poverty but also with Public Disclosure Authorized rising levels of inequality. The report concludes with some initial recommendations for future development of the methodology used to measure living standards and poverty in Cambodia.
