Cambodia’s public debt within limit, says PM Hun Manet

PHNOM PENH (Phnom Penh Post/ANN): Prime Minister Hun Manet has addressed public concerns regarding public debt, assuring that it will not escalate to an unmanageable level or lead to a ‘debt trap’. He explained that Cambodia’s foreign loans are utilised for the country’s development.

While speaking to nearly 20,000 factory workers in Takhmao town, Manet noted that critics have been questioning the government’s approach to foreign borrowing, a trend that dates back to the tenure of his father, former Prime Minister Hun Sen.
