Foreign developers say Cambodia regulations could stifle building

A group of foreign developers say Cambodia's new building regulations could stifle the Kingdom's construction boom.

The new laws require builders to place large cash deposits with the government and apply for several additional licences before starting projects.

Shin Woo Kim, a legal adviser to the Korean Real Estate Development Association has told the Phnom Penh Post that Cambodia would be seen as a high risk country if the new regulations on housing developments take effect.

The new Finance Ministry rules also require developers to purchase site insurance and deposit at least two per cent of the total project cost in a ministry account.

The Ministry says the regulations will tighten a largely unregulated construction sector.

Hun Sen do you really think that investors are dumb?

You have a pretty bad adviser there.

No, you know too little. This is the way my officers are making money. They need to create some procedures and they can make money from them. Understand??

Shut the fuck up, 9:45. Just sit back and learn from the master. You are too dumb to know anything.
