Business friendliness in Cambodia declines

CAMBODIA’S business friendliness has declined in world rankings despite gains for exporters and entrepreneurs, according to a World Bank report.

The Making a Difference for Entrepreneurs report, which compared business regulations across 183 economies, ranked Cambodia 147th place for the ease of doing business, down from 145th place last year.

The drop came despite improved rankings in the ease of foreign trade and starting new companies.

Cambodia was the seventh most improved economy for trading across borders, climbing nine places to 118th. That was due to a reduction in the amount of paperwork for importing and exporting goods.


“Cambodia eliminated pre-shipment inspections, reducing the time and number of documents required for importing and exporting,” the report said.

Despite the change, the amount of paperwork needed to export goods remained the eighth highest in the world.

The ease of starting a business in Cambodia climbed three places over last year’s low base, to 170th.

However, the time needed to start a business still ranked poorly, at an average of 85 days – measured as the third longest in the East Asia-Pacific region.

Cambodia was also the third slowest country to issue construction permits, with an average wait of 709 days.

I invite KI-medai, Khmeryoueng,Khmerization, and all media to please help Sam rainsy, by break him and rebuild him back. We clearly see Sam rainsy, he is not well communicator, and he has no self discipline, and he is disrespect, and he is a not truth-worthy man, he have no co operate, he lack leadership skill, he is lazy and don't have clear vision for us. all these character will never gain any support from voter.
We can clearly see his provocative will lead to more violent and division Khmer society, please stop him and break him from the bottom heart then rebuild him. I agreed people power but should be happen in Kampuchea krom or in Sorin, let Cambodia strong first otherwise it very dangerous for all of us.
I promise if he keep doing it he will bring Khmer down to war it take 15 years to rebuild, and SRP will never progress.
Best Regards.

To those who truly believe SR is too "leftist" ... you have the option to write him to his headquarter in PP by your opinions and hope he sees your vision.

To be him: you have to be a visionary and some leadership skills in order to exist to this day. You have to understand Khmer attitude to combat such problem with HS. HS without Hanoi is very easy.... but HS has a tail on his own, someone has to have what it takes to fight this battle to save our land.

Can you please, I urge you, I am not belong to any party but I work in the interest of Khmer people, you may write your suggestions, ideas, what is your strategy and what is your motivation toward why you think SR is so NEGATIVE.

In Addition: You need to look at FUNCINPEC = they allowed HS to break them into small pieces. You need to learn about other party first before you into believing SR is too "leftist".... HS had planned to "destroy" SRP for many many years...its party still standing what is that tell you...
I agree you want to see his character changes but how....I say joint him help steer his party into the right direction .... unless you are CPP mouth piece like Pai C pest..
Kone Khmer mearn pooch......... USA

10:27,
there are two kinds of war:
1) Wars against an external enemy
2) Wars against one's one people

With the current power structure, the only people who can possibly bring about any of that two is Mr. Hun Sen.

No one else has the power, or political control of the military, police, and national guards in Cambodia except the ruling party.

What you meant to say then is, Hun Sen, an egoist, a self-proclaimed hero of the Khmer people, a dictator who wields absolute power, will do anything and kill any Khmer citizens who will challenge his power.

The problem isn't Sam Rainsy then, your violent actor is Hun Sen. Please advise him to like a mature, responsible grown up and represent Khmer in positive way to the world.

Best Regards,

MR Sam Rainsy is too tight and too rigid, and too much proud anger personality.To break him Rainsy mean to calm him down we help him to refocus on humble, more principle, more human that he may willing to listen more than he talk. We have to give him new direction. In order to make him more productive we make sure that Sam rainsy got to be hit hard until he realize the past experience.
All of us could help him out.

វាជារឿងធម្មតាទៅហើយ ដែលខ្ញុំបានរស់ឆ្លងកាត់ ជាច្រើនជំនាន់មកនោះ។
ពីសម័យមួយទៅសម័យមួយ មនុស្សឯបអប ឡេបឡបឡេមឡឺម ​ វាតែងតែមានជាធម្មតា។ ​ប៉ុន្តែដល់ផុតរបបនោះទៅទៀត ក៏វាមានលេច មនុស្សធុនដដែលហ្នឹងមកទៀត។
រឿងដែលគួរឲ្យភ័យខ្លាចនោះ គឺអ្នកដឹកនាំនេះ ឯង ដែលស៊ីជោរហើយ លោតកញ្ឆេងទៅតាម​ពាក្យ បញ្ជោររបស់ជនឡេមឡឺម។

Why Cambodian get bad rate right now!...Well, most of his official moving up-ward in their rang (example from 4 stars general to 5,6,7, etc generals), thus they need to increase their corruption. They have ego inflation...they persiver them self to be most powerful...thus, they start demand one. They should know their title is worth like Cambodian currency "riel" that can only spend in Cambodia and the same go for their title - comprenda...all your general and that go for you as well Mr. Hun Sen!

"Like leader, like followers" - Just make sure that all your wifes
and your daughters bleach wife...so that they just do business with the Chinese. In addition - don't just bleach the face up, but also the face down bellow....

bloggers..Sen's name on everything - It remind me when I walk my dog...he want to mark his plot or his taritory...he always go back to pie at the same places. Hun is very careful about his taritory. He afraid that somebody might take it...so the Sen would do the same as my dog - he too marks everything under his name. What a shame (we a dog rule us)..

Khmer people, do you know that you are just a borrower of Hun's property or his taritory...Khmer people you better waik up...that why you can see the rampan land graping all over the country, especially in Phom Penh!

Waik up Khmer people, Waik up - I said...you own nothing under Hun Regime...he can take your property any time...you are live under borrowing land from the Hun's regim...

Khmer people...you have the power in your hands - your VOTE...vote Hun's regime OUT,OUT...show Hun Sen your true power of democracy...non-violence...but using the weapon of your vote...Go Vote in 2013...show your power...We all Khmer - we want a better condition for our children and our children's children...Hun's regime will not give your children this opportunity!...Fight back with your voting weapon...individual come together will build a critical mass of the same vote (kick Sen out of his office)...just like the makong river build the powerful flow of it water..nothing can stand in front the strenght of the Mekong river...Khmer people form yorself as a Mekong river...form your vote - let your reach a critical to vote Hun's regime out! out you go Sen!..You don't deserve to serve Khmer people..

Hun Sen must stop fooling around on Khmer people and land he needs to protect and save Cambodia now. Time is running out Hun Sen must make complete withdrawal from Vietnam and make a full friendship with China that have a bigger guns and money to kick the Vietnamese out of Cambodia. Your children and grandchildren will be very proud of your power and leadership when Cambodia is independence, autonomy and stay away from the Vietnamese expansion. If you stay with Vietnam your children, grandchildren, and all Khmer people are countryless and homeless liked Khmer Krom.
