CAMBODIA, March 28 (Phnom Penh Post/ANN) - The private sector rejoiced after the government on March 25 announced its eight round of measures to keep businesses afloat and stimulate economic growth as the Kingdom grapples with surging novel coronavirus infections.

The support measures centre on garments, textiles, footwear, travel goods, bags and tourism, and the government in April-June will continue to provide $40 per month to workers in the sectors as part of its cash handout programme amid the pandemic.
