Cambodia to borrow more for flood damage, rice plans [-Phnom Penh is facing severe economic problem?]

PHNOM PENH - Cambodia could borrow US$1.1 billion (S$1.37 billion) from other countries in 2012, 75 per cent more than this year, to help repair infrastructure damaged in flooding and support efforts to increase rice exports to 1 million tonnes by 2015, a senior official said on Monday.

Cheam Yeap, chairman of the Finance Commission, said the borrowing, which has to be approved by parliament, would come in the form of concessionary, 40-year loans at low interest rates.

He declined to say which countries might offer the loans but said that of Cambodian's current debt of around $8 billion, some $6 billion was owed to its closest ally, China. Another $1.5 billion is owed to Russia and $317 million to the United States, he added.

Cheam Yeap said the draft 2012 budget, which also has to go before parliament, includes provisions for new spending of $2.69 billion, up from $2.4 billion this year.


As part of efforts to generate more revenue, the government in the poor Southeast Asian country intends to impose a tax on real estate and is looking at plans to start issuing bonds.

Cambodia is forecast to export 180,000 tonnes of rice in 2011, more than three times last year's volume.

China and Cambodia will never split apart! If Cambodia is endangered of falling down I rather let China takeover Cambodia and become it's province! It's better than being ruled by Vietnam or a dictator like Hun Sen!

I want to see the gov't putting money on healthcare. Speaking about healthcare, Cambodia desperately need good hospitals. This is the one area the gov't need to get it done right away, so Cambodians do not have to spend so much money to go abroad for their illnesses. Imagine all the money we could have saved and use it to stimulate the Cambodian economy and put our people to work? and have our people develop their human capital? In the future we can capitalize on medical tourism too. A lot of people would not mind to have a check up or have their teeth cleaned while visiting Cambodia. The gov't don't have to do one thing at a time. The gov't can help promote or give it a jump start just like the promoting the rice exporting and have the private sector take care of the rest. Cambodia has no time to waste. We must work hard to make up the lost time...
