Encouraging investor interest

Article Abstract:

Foreign investment is critical to rebuilding Cambodia's economy. Cambodia is making progress since the UN-sponsored elections in 1993, experiencing increases in GDP in 1994 and 1995 of 4% and 7.7%, respectively. In 1995, GDP per capital was $289, up from $227 in 1993. Inflation in 1995 was only 3.5% versus 200% in 1992. Industrial production and services' share of the economy increased t 18.7% and 36.7%, respectively, from 14.9% and 32.8%, respectively, between 1990 and 1995. Attracting foreign investment depends on the Cambodian government implementing foreign investor-friendly policies and bolstering the rule of law.
