AMRO forecasts a 5.3% GDP growth for Cambodia in 2023 The ASEAN+3 Macroeconomic Research Office (AMRO) has revised Cambodia's GDP growth to 5.3% for 2023, citing recovery in tourism, non-garment manufacturing, and domestic economic activities. The revised figure was revealed during a meeting between the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy and Finance (MEF) Aun Pornmoniroth and AMRO's annual mission delegation. The revised GDP growth is a high rate in the region, despite slower garment production and stagnant construction and real estate. AMRO's economic growth updates report (AREO) shows Cambodia's GDP growth has been revised to 5.3% from 5.7% in July and 5.9% in April. The new government aims to strengthen public finance resilience, strengthen the financial sector, and increase Cambodia's competitiveness. (Source: Khmer Times)

In the first eight months, $2.28 billion worth of oil and gas products were imported into Cambodia Cambodia's oil and gas imports decreased by 9.5% from last year to $2.28 billion during January-August, according to a report from the General Department of Customs and Excise. The Ministry of Mines and Energy predicts a rise in demand to 4.8 million tons in 2030, up from 2.8 million tons in 2020. Cambodia currently imports 100% of its petroleum products, mainly from Thailand, Viet Nam, and Singapore. OPEC, the US Energy Information Administration, and the International Energy Agency predict larger market deficits in the next quarter due to tight global supply and rising oil demand. Fresh stimulus measures from Beijing and increased output from Chinese refiners also support the demand outlook. Investors remain cautious ahead of the US Federal Reserve's policy decision, which is expected to hold interest rates steady but remain hawkish. (Source: Khmer Times)

No consensus reaches between employer and employee on minimum wage discussion The National Council on Minimum Wage (NCMW) has failed to reach a consensus on the new minimum wage for garment, travel goods, and bag industries. However, key parties have revised their amounts at a meeting at the Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training (MLVT) headquarters in Phnom Penh. Employers' representatives increased their amount to $201.5, while employees' representatives decreased their amount to $213 and $204 due to not reaching an internal consensus. The next meeting is scheduled for September 28, and the government has set the monthly minimum wage for 2024 at $202. Employers' negotiating team has requested the government to lower logistics costs by 30% to offset the increase, while trade unionists have requested more benefits from the National Social Security Fund to offset living costs.
