WASHINGTON - Cambodia's financial system could be overheating, posing a risk to the country's strong economic growth, International Monetary Fund (IMF) staff reported after their annual health check on the economy.
In the past year, private credit expanded by nearly a third in Cambodia and reached 37 per cent of national income, zooming above levels seen in similar low-income countries in South-east Asia, IMF staff said in documents released on Tuesday.
The ratio between credit and national income is now much higher than the long-term trend, which puts the economy at risk.
