Economy and Industry

In H1, riel deposits increase more faster than the US dollar Deposits in riel with deposit-taking corporations have grown faster than those in foreign currencies in the first half of 2023, particularly the US dollar. The riel deposit has risen 31.5% to 19.1 trillion riel, or $4.65 billion, compared to the same period last year. While the total deposits in foreign currencies with deposit-taking institutions have increased 9.4% to 164.9 trillion riel or $40.12 billion. Fixed, demand, savings, and other deposits have accounted for 52.4%, 24.8%, 21.1%, and 1.7% of total deposits in riel. The rising demand for riel has pushed banks and microfinance institutions to compete more actively by offering higher interest rates for deposits in riel compared to the US dollar.

Exports from Cambodia to Singapore increased by 555% between January and August Cambodia's exports to Singapore increased by 554.8 percent from $72.83 million to $476.90 million in the January to August 2023 period, reaching $1.10 billion. The total trade between the two countries reached $15.69 billion by the end of August 2023. Singapore now accounts for three percent of Cambodia's total exports, making it the sixth biggest trading partner for the country. Cambodia has diversified its export market due to weaker demand from major markets like the US and EU, particularly for garments, footwear, and travel goods. The country is also on the path to becoming a regional hub for assembly plants due to competitive wages and skill-intensive manufacturing. Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Manet indicated that Singapore will soon meet with officials to explore importing more agricultural products from the Kingdom. (Source: Khmer Times)

The bridge will be divided into two parts, from Night Market to Chroy Changvar in Phnom Penh and from Chroy Changvar to Arey Ksat in Kandal province's Lvea Em City. The project, funded by the Republic of Korea, was signed on December 9, 2022, as part of the Framework Arrangement Concerning Loans between Cambodia and South Korea. (Source: Khmer Times)
