China News Service, Phnom Penh, April 26 (Reporter Ouyang Kaiyu) The Cambodian government reported on the 26th that the Cambodian government is implementing an economic revitalization strategy. This year, the economic growth rate will reach more than 5%, and it is expected to return to the high-speed growth track before the epidemic.
It is understood that after the outbreak of the epidemic, Cambodia adopted strict epidemic prevention measures such as closing the border, and the economy was severely impacted in 2020.
Since then, Cambodia has benefited from the national new crown vaccination campaign, the country has established a herd immunity barrier, and the economy will achieve a growth rate of 3% in 2021.
Cambodia released the "Strategic Framework and Projects for Economic Revitalization under the New Normal of COVID-19 (2021-2023)" in December last year, with a view to enhancing socio-economic resilience and achieving sustainable and inclusive economic growth.
Cambodian officials said that the government has been earnestly implementing the strategy, and the economy will be able to return to the high-speed growth track before the epidemic this year.
At the same time, changes in the epidemic still bring uncertainty.
The Cambodian government reminds that rising crude oil prices and inflation in particular may have a negative impact on investment, trade, regional and global production chains.
According to the "Strategic Framework and Projects for Economic Revitalization under the New Normal of the New Coronary Pneumonia Epidemic (2021-2023)", the Cambodian government will invest nearly 6.6 billion US dollars in various development projects this year and next year to promote the recovery of various fields after the new corona pneumonia epidemic. .
