Download or read book Cambodia Economic Update Weathering the Oil Price Shock written by World Bank Group and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cambodia is now weathering an oil price shock, just as the economy had started to recover amid a rollback of Coronavirus (COVID-19)-related restrictions. Negative impacts of the oil price shock are amplified by Cambodia's already large external imbalances. Rising food and energy prices have eroded household purchasing power. International oil price increases are passing directly through to domestic prices. Higher commodity prices triggered by the war in Ukraine are expected to lead to sizable fiscal impacts. Meanwhile, the "living with COVID-19" strategy has enabled a reopening of the economy since late last year. The economic recovery remains uneven. Traditional growth drivers, especially the garment, travel goods, and footwear manufacturing industries, continue to expand. Rising inflationary pressures are posing serious policy challenges for the Cambodian authorities. To this end, it is crucial for the central bank to continue to be committed to maintaining exchange rate stability. For the government, it is important to avoid creating excess aggregate demand, which might trigger undue domestic inflationary pressures on top of the imported inflation. The prospect of a protracted period of high inflation and a sharp increase in global interest rates has significant implications for Cambodia, whose economy is highly dollarized.
Download or read book New Girl Law written by Anne Elizabeth Moore and published by Microcosm Publishing. This book was released on 2014-11-29 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cambodian Chbap Srei is a 17th-century book that intended to establish a code of conduct for young women. Staunchly traditional, but repressive and frustrating, the first large group of young women in Cambodia decide to rewrite it with Moore. The year-long process culminates in a grand discussion of human rights and gender equity, and a hand-bound book for all participants. Tragically, the completed book was banned and censored in both Cambodia and the U.S. But what these bold young women learn next about when they are allowed to speak, and to whom, is chilling.

Download or read book Aid Dependence in Cambodia written by Sophal Ear and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2013 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Dr. Ear argues that the international community has chosen to prioritize political stability above all other governance dimensions, and in so doing has traded a modicum of democracy for an ounce of security. Focusing on post-1993 Cambodia, Ear explores the unintended consequences in post-conflict environments of foreign aid. He chooses Cambodia both for personal reasons--which infuses an academic analysis with a compelling sense of urgency--and because it is one of the most aid-drenched countries in modern history. He tries to explain the relationship between Cambodia's aid dependence and its appallingly poor governance. He concludes that despite decades of aid, technical cooperation, four national elections, no open warfare, and some progress in some parts of the economy, Cambodia is one broken government away from disaster."--Publisher's description.

Download or read book Cambodia s Curse written by Joel Brinkley and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2011-04-12 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist describes how Cambodia emerged from the harrowing years when a quarter of its population perished under the Khmer Rouge. A generation after genocide, Cambodia seemed on the surface to have overcome its history -- the streets of Phnom Penh were paved; skyscrapers dotted the skyline. But under this façe lies a country still haunted by its years of terror. Although the international community tried to rebuild Cambodia and introduce democracy in the 1990s, in the country remained in the grip of a venal government. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Joel Brinkley learned that almost a half of Cambodians who lived through the Khmer Rouge era suffered from P.T.S.D. -- and had passed their trauma to the next generation. His extensive close-up reporting in Cambodia's Curse illuminates the country, its people, and the deep historical roots of its modern-day behavior.

Download or read book Cambodia Now written by Karen J. Coates and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2005-04-12 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cambodia has never recovered from its Khmer Rouge past. The genocidal regime of 1975-1979 and the following two decades of civil war ripped the country apart. This work examines Cambodia in the aftermath, focusing on Khmer people of all walks of life and examining through their eyes key facets of Cambodian society, including the ancient Angkor legacy, relations with neighboring countries (particularly the strained ones with the Vietnamese), emerging democracy, psychology, violence, health, family, poverty, the environment, and the nation's future. Along with print sources, research is drawn from hundreds of interviews with Cambodians, including farmers, royalty, beggars, teachers, monks, orphanage heads, politicians, and non-native experts on Cambodia. Dozens of exquisite photographs of Cambodian people and places illustrate the work, which concludes with a glossary of Cambodian words, people, places and names, and an appendix of organizations providing aid to Cambodia.
Download or read book Cambodia written by Pou Sothirak and published by Institute of Southeast Asian Studies. This book was released on 2012 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 20 years since the Paris accords of 1991 brought peace to Cambodia, the country has undergone what can only be described as astounding change. From apolity where the entire fabric of society had been rent asunder through years of war and genocide, contemporary Cambodia is fast becoming a vibrant stateand assuming a new position in the Asia-Pacific region. The contributions to this volume - many by prominent figures who were intimately connected with the process - describe the diverse strands of mediation and peace-building which went into the creation of the 1991 accords. The subsequent role of UNTAC and the 1993 general elections in the process of Cambodian revival and social rebuilding are also described. While not denying that obstacles and difficulties remain, the contributions outline the evolving economic, political, religious and human resource situations within Cambodia, while also examining the country's contemporary international relations. This book constitutes a particularly fitting testament to the 20 years of Cambodian reconstruction which have followed the 1991 peace accords.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 2009 Article IV Consultation underlies that following a decade of high economic growth and significant poverty reduction, Cambodia’s economy has been hard hit by the global crisis. Real GDP is contracting as key sectors falter—export and tourism receipts have fallen off sharply, reflecting a narrow production base, high concentration of exports, and softening external demand. In response to the slowdown, policies have been eased significantly. Executive Directors have emphasized the need to reduce the domestic financing component of the fiscal deficit while reprioritizing expenditure to protect vulnerable groups.
Download or read book Cambodia Economic Update November 2020 written by Weltbankgruppe and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has abruptly interrupted Cambodia's celebrated growth story. The pandemic has effectively stalled the construction and real estate boom that relied heavily on foreign investment. High-frequency phone surveys of households validated the adverse impact of the pandemic on employment. As the global economic crisis caused by COVID-19 continues, the economy in 2020 is projected to contract by 2.0 percent, the sharpest decline in Cambodia's recent history. The most important policy goal must be to urgently regain jobs lost or suspended due to the pandemic. In this regard, full attention must be paid to boost investment in labor-intensive sectors to generate jobs. Looking ahead, it is essential to facilitate an expansion of domestic and foreign investment arising largely from recent bilateral and regional free trade agreements. It is imperative to continue to closely monitor vulnerabilities arising from a prolonged construction and property boom and the increase of credit provided to the construction and real estate sector. It is critically important to develop a COVID-19 vaccine distribution infrastructure, while identifying potential COVID-19 vaccine availability and affordability. Cooperation has been sought with regional countries developing COVID-19 vaccines such as China to ensure Cambodia has access to the COVID-19 vaccine when it is available.
