PHNOM PENH, Jan. 24 (Xinhua) -- Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen said Tuesday that the country's per capita GDP is expected to reach 1,000 U.S. dollars in 2013 from merely 830 U.S. dollars at the end of 2010.
In the medium term, the country's economic growth is expected to be at least 6 percent annually and the poverty rate will decline at least one percent a year, he said in a meeting with 26 Cambodian ambassadors and eight consuls general to foreign countries.
By the end of 2010, Cambodia's poverty rate stood at 25.8 percent, according to the government statistics.
The country's GDP growth in 2011 was estimated at 6.4 percent ( equivalent to 12.02 billion U.S. dollars), Cambodia's Finance Minister Keat Chhon said last month.
The main sectors driving economic growth are garment industry, tourism, agriculture and construction.

LES DETTES KHMERS SONT DE COMBIEN DE DOLLARDS AMÉRICAINS PAR HABITANT ? EST CE DEUX MILES OU QUATTRE MILLE DOLARDS ? ......... PENSEZ VOUS!
PM is waiting to get windfall from oil revenues to get GDP $1000-1200 the same as Laotian GDP or slightly above in 2013.
Coincident and careful calculation by the Cambodian Government in hoping the windfall from EXXON/MOBILE will surely reach her shoreline on time.
