Cambodia International Political Economy

The Cambodian government has enacted new building regulations that could severely limit the attractiveness of Cambodia investment by foreign firms interested in real estate development according to ABC.

While the Cambodian government says the laws are imperative to control the mainly unregulated construction sector, foreign firms see the move as a hindrance to growth.

The new Cambodia investment laws require builders to apply for numerous additional licenses as well as deposit large sums of cash with the Cambodian government before starting a project.
