Cambodian Economics Performance

Cambodia’s growth in exports and tourism slowed down in the first half of 2015, though domestic demand is holding up supported by an expansion of credit to the private sector.

Shipments of garments and footwear produced in Cambodia rose by 11.0% year on year, decelerating from 14.5% in the first half of 2014. Growth in total merchandise exports moderated to 14.0% from 18.3%. As for tourist arrivals, the rate of increase slowed to 4.6% in the first half from 5.2% a year earlier. Agriculture is suffering from an extended period of low rainfall.

However, data indicate that domestic demand is holding up, based on 33.3% year on year expansion of credit to the private sector in May and indications of high growth in imports. While the expansion of garment manufacturing, construction, and services—in particular tourism, finance, and real estate services— continues to drive growth in Gross Domestic Product (GDP), the pace in the garment and tourism industries seems to have moderated.



The garment industry faces increased competition arising from the appreciation of the US dollar, in that the Cambodian economy is heavily dollarized, and from other low-wage competitors including Myanmar.

Amazing Bayon Temple

Bayon temple is in the center of the town. It options several sophisticated and exquisite bas-reliefs with scenes depicting land and naval warfare, market scenes et al. depicting the development of the temple itself. This is one of most popular locations in Siem Reap and is rich in historical pickings. It’s also quite strenuous because the tour involves several narrow corridors , and we cannot help thinking of Lara croft in “Tomb Raider” but there is no large 6-armed Brahman guardian sculpture to repel.
