Cambodia is now weathering an oil price shock, just as the economy had started to recover amid a rollback of COVID-19-related restrictions.The negative impacts of the oil price shock are amplified by Cambodia’s already large external imbalances.Rising global energy and food prices are fueling higher inflation, and in Cambodia, poor and vulnerable households with limited savings are likely to bear the brunt of the oil price shock.Meanwhile, the “living with COVID-19” strategy has enabled a reopening of the economy since late last year.Cambodia’s economy will grow by 4.5 percent in 2022 but the road ahead remains unclear.The fiscal deficit is expected to widen to 6.3 percent of GDP, as the government will need to continue spending programs to support the poor.Over the medium term, the economy is expected to grow at around 6 percent annually, with the new investment law, together with free trade agreements, helping to boost investment and trade.Policies optionsThe report recommends policies that can help sustain economic recovery, include:continued efforts to contain COVID-19 infection,strengthening consumer and investor confidence,promotion of exports, particularly in agricultural commodities, by facilitating trade and reducing the costs of doing business, andstabilization of retail prices.Special Focus:The Special Focus section of the report looks at post-pandemic supply chain disruptions and explains how to develop strategies to reduce logistics costs.
