Cambodia’s debt ratio lower than most ASEAN nations: IMF According to new International Monetary Fund (IMF) data, Cambodia's general government gross debt (GGGD) is expected to increase from 36.5% of GDP in 2022 to 37.5% in 2023. This will be the highest rate since 42.7% in 2004 but is still lower than that of all ASEAN nations with the exception of two. The global lender located in Washington has cautioned that many low-income countries are in or are very susceptible to being in "debt stress" as the Ukraine crisis and other crises continue, necessitating policy adjustments and preventative actions to preserve budgetary space and to strengthen financial stability. The IMF predicts that general government net lending/borrowing in Cambodia would decrease to -5% of GDP in 2023 from -4% in 2018. (Source: The Phnom Penh Post)
