Cambodia’s per capita GDP to reach 1,036 USD this year: PM

Cambodia’s per capita GDP was projected to hit 1,036 U.S. dollars in 2013, up from nearly 1,000 U.S. dollars in a year earlier, Prime Minister Hun Sen said Saturday. … The premier said the country has enjoyed full peace and political stability in the last 15 years, which are the essential elements for sound economic development. The economy was expected to grow by 7.6 percent in equivalent to 15.19 billion U.S. dollars this year and the poverty rate would drop to 19 percent this year from 20 percent last year, he added. … The Southeast Asian nation’s growth is mainly reliant on garment exports, tourism, agriculture and construction.
