$228.5 million was made from Cambodian rubber exports Cambodia's rubber exports in the first seven months of 2023 were $228.5 million, down 12.8 percent from the previous year's $262.2 million. The country exported 170,968 tons of dry rubber, a 3% increase from 2022. Experts attribute the dip in revenues to a decrease in international rubber prices. The main export markets for rubber are Malaysia, Vietnam, Singapore, and China. The country planted rubber trees in 404,578 hectares, with 78% of them being old enough to be tapped. In January-June, Cambodia earned $187 million from rubber exports, a 13% drop from the previous year's $216.3 million. In July 2023, Cambodia earned $61 million from rubber exports, a 48.1% YoY increase. The rising trend in rubber exports continued into the January-July period this year. The global production of natural rubber (NR) saw a 2.1% growth in July 2023, while global demand for NR posted a 3.2% to 1.3 million tonnes year on year. (Source: Khmer Times)
30,000 informal workers have signed up for the NSSF program Over 30,000 self-employed individuals from the informal economy have registered voluntarily to access public and private healthcare services through the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) system since its launch on June 20. The new scheme, which requires self-employed to pay 15,600 riel per month through banks like Acleda Bank Plc, Canadia Bank Plc, and Advanced Bank of Asia Limited, has expanded benefits from those provided to employees in legally registered enterprises. Self-employed members must pay a monthly premium of 2.6% of their revenue, which is fixed at around 600,000 riels or $150. The benefits include medical treatment and care, maternity, and re-use of services if premiums are not paid. NSSF members can access medical treatment and care services for free at healthcare facilities that are partners of the NSSF, provided they have been registered and paid premiums for two months in a row during the trial period.

UK exports fall 15% from January to July due to fewer orders Bilateral trade between Cambodia and the UK in the first seven months of 2023 fell 14.6% YoY to $496.3 million, with nearly 90% of the value consisting of exports from Cambodia. From January to July 2023, Cambodia exported $441 million to the UK, down 16.4% from the corresponding period last year. Cambodia imported $55.3 million worth of goods, up 3.1%. The GDCE recorded a trade surplus of $385.7 million during this period. In July 2023, trade dropped 29.3% YoY to $88.3 million, with exports to the UK down 32.2% at $80.01 million and imports from the UK declining 13.4% to $8.3 million. Cambodia Chamber of Commerce vice-president Lim Heng said the export decline was due to lower orders from the UK, a result of the ongoing global economic crisis. However, the production chain in Cambodia remains strong, and if international orders increase, Cambodia's international trade volume would meet all targets. (Source: The Phnom Penh Post)

ANA of Japan recommended the restart of flights to Cambodia The State Secretariat of Civil Aviation has requested the resumption of All Nippon Airways' (ANA) flights to Cambodia. The request was made during a meeting between Mao Havannall, Minister in charge of the State Secretariat of Civil Aviation, and a representative of the ANA in Phnom Penh. Both sides discussed cooperation in the airline sector and the possibility of resuming ANA's flights to Cambodia. The plan is significant due to the increase in foreign tourist arrivals to Cambodia after the Covid-19 pandemic. Cambodia recorded around 2.57 million international visitors in the first half of 2023, a 409% increase from the same period last year. (Source: The Phnom Penh Post)
