Current accounts in control

Cambodia’s current accounts deficit has increased in recent years, but is not yet a cause for concern, according to experts. The Asian Development Bank’s July update showed Cambodia’s current accounts deficit stood at 11 percent of GDP in 2010, and statistics show the trade gap grew further in the first six months of the year. Cambodia’s imports and exports both increased by 48 percent in the first half of 2011 compared year-on-year, hitting $3.245 billion and $2.228 billion respectively, according to Ministry of Commerce figures.
