MoC and NBC urges Khmer Riel label on products The Ministry of Commerce (MoC) and the National Bank of Cambodia (NBC) recently held a high-level meeting to strategize on promoting the use of the Khmer Riel, focusing on implementing price tag labeling in Khmer Riel. Co-chaired by Yim Leat, Deputy Governor of NBC, and Serey Borapich, Secretary of State of the Ministry of Commerce, the meeting aimed to foster cooperation between the two institutions. Discussions included NBC's action plan and various measures and policies to encourage Riel usage. Deputy Governor Leat highlighted NBC's introduction of electronic payment methods to facilitate Riel transactions and praised the Ministry of Commerce for its efforts, particularly in requiring Riel price tags in shops. He emphasized that promoting Riel use requires coordinated efforts from all authorities. NBC reported a significant increase in Riel circulation, from 0.85 trillion Riel ($211 million) twenty years ago to 14.5 trillion Riel ($3.51 billion) by 2023, as part of a gradual de-dollarization strategy.

AMRO forecasts robust growth for Cambodia in 2024 Cambodia's economy is expected to grow robustly in 2024, driven by a rise in exports and continued tourism recovery, according to the ASEAN+3 Macroeconomic Research Office (AMRO). The economy is projected to grow by 5.6% in 2024 and 5.9% in 2025, up from 5% in 2023. AMRO Principal Economist Jinho Choi noted that the recovery in the garment sector, expansion in other manufacturing exports, and tourism rebound will support this growth. However, the trajectory is contingent on external risks and domestic vulnerabilities, particularly in the real estate sector and credit quality. AMRO Chief Economist Hoe Ee Khor highlighted Cambodia's fast growth in the region, driven by strong demand for consumer goods and stable foreign direct investment. The construction sector's recovery may lag due to the prolonged real estate downturn, but increased infrastructure investment is expected to partially offset this weakness. CPI inflation is forecast at 2.5% in 2024 and 2.6% in 2025. (Source: Khmer Times)
