$27 million in government bonds are issued by Cambodia in H1 The Cambodian government raised $27 million in bonds in the first six months of 2023, accounting for 13.5% of the $200 million target. The government issues bonds through the National Bank of Cambodia Auction Platform (NBCP), with bidding six times in the first semester. The government plans to raise $200 million from bonds in 2023, aiming to increase direct revenues, ensure investment efficiency, and promote the securities sector. This marks the second year of government securities issuance, and investors will enjoy a 50% deduction on withholding tax and tax exemption on capital gains for three years. (Source: Khmer Times)
GFT issues in Cambodia persist, 7,696 workers lose their employment Cambodia's garments, footwear, and travel goods (GFT) sector faces economic headwinds as 7,696 workers from 15 factories lost jobs due to falling demand, mainly in exports to foreign countries. The Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training (MLVT) announced that workers who lost jobs will receive financial support for the suspension of their job contracts. The allowance will be paid in KHR and depends on the number of days of suspension. The GFT sector is one of the biggest employment generators in the country and has created nearly one million direct jobs. The global economic situation and the ongoing war in Ukraine have contributed to the sector's decline. (Source: Khmer Times)

Royal Railway runs a rail connection with Thailand Royal Railway Plc, a conglomerate of Cambodia's Royal Railway, started operating its first rail link from Thailand last week. Commercial goods were transported safely from Thailand to Phnom Penh, and documentation was completed with customs officials. The Thai counterpart will push empty platforms or wagons into Cambodia's land, if they don't have facilities for loading goods. The rail link will extend to Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam. The Ministry of Public Works and Transport (MPWT) plans to charge fees for services in transportation of goods to the country. The operations are still on pilot after the Railway Department of MPWT and the State Railway of Thailand agreed to arrange the Poipet border between the two countries in 2022. (Source: Khmer Times)
