Abstract
The objectives of this Investment
Climate Assessment (ICA) are to: (i) provide an up-to-date,
fact-based analysis of the business environment for
policy-makers in the Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC), the
private sector, civil society, and development partners; and
(ii) outline priorities for improving the business
environment and suggest policy options. The body of this
report is comprised of three chapters. Chapter one gives a
picture of the private sector in Cambodia in early 2008,
including its structure, main features, and overall
performance across key sectors and nationwide. The sectors
featured are: garments, food packaging, telecoms, and
finance. Chapter two reviews the business environment,
starting with existing firms' perceptions of the
business environment, and then goes into more depth on each
dimension. The chapter concludes by discussing which of
these challenges are truly binding constraints on growth.
Chapter three, after taking stock of on-going reform
efforts, concludes with some key directions for reform and a
few concrete policy options for the short and medium term.
