Chea Mony, President of the Free Trade Union of Workers in the Kingdom of Cambodia (FTUWKC), asked Keat Chhon, the minister of economy and finance, to stop the galloping daily price increase of goods on the market which affects the livelihood of government workers and factory workers who received monthly salaries of less than 180,000 to 200,000 riels (~$45 to $50), as well as the poor population. In a letter dated 25 December sent to Keat Chhon, Chea Mony requested that Keat Chhon takes immediate measures to stop the price increase of goods, otherwise, factory workers, teachers, police officers, soldiers, and government workers will not be pleased to work to serve the nation anymore, and they will walk out of their government jobs to look for another position elsewhere to feed themselves.

I have to wonder does AH KEAT CHHOUN understand what inflation is and the mechanism use to control it. I honestly don't trust AH HUN SEN government statistic regarding Cambodia inflation rate!

-Inflation
-Deflation
-Disflation
-Reflation
-Hyperinflation
-stagflation

Don't rock the boat!

Job creation is already in the process.

What you have now is the engine for the economy. Yes, the garment factories and tourism are the engine of the Cambodia's robust economy. Enjoy it while it last.
Also, don't forget to maint peace and stability, or this robust economic engine will not be around.
