World Bank-Main Findings of the Cambodia Country Economic Memorandum (CEM)
January 31, 2022--The devastating impact of Covid-19 on Cambodia's economy lies in the country's growth generating process.
Prior to the pandemic, Cambodia was a world leader in economic growth and poverty reduction. It sustained an average growth rate of 7.7 percent between 1995 and 2019, raising its per capita income from US$323 in 1995 to US$1,621 in 2019, and graduated to a lower-middle-income economy in 2015.
The poverty rate fell from 47.8 percent in 2007 to 13.5 percent in 2014.
Cambodia's growth slowdown in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic was among the most pronounced in the East Asia region. Growth fell by an estimated 10.1 percentage points from its pre-pandemic average growth rate.
This dramatic slowdown in growth can be attributed to dependence on a narrow range of products, markets, and factor inputs. In recent years, five products have in recent years accounted for 80 percent of total exports; two markets have accounted for 69 percent of merchandise exports; and foreign capital accounted for 72 percent of total capital investments in 2018.
