Baht imperialism: Thai investors pour into Cambodia

Article Abstract:

Cambodian industries are experiencing high capital infusion from Thai investors. Of particular interest to Thais are Cambodia's property, logging, gem-mining, finance, aviation, and tourism sectors. However, both local and foreign investors are complaining that Thais have cornered major industries. Additionally, the absence of a structured commercial policy has precipitated government corruption, which the Thais seem to tolerate and condone. Cambodians, still annoyed over Thai foreign policy toward Cambodia, fear that the Thais may also dominate the domestic financial system.

Submerging market: Cambodia assesses the cost of Hun Sen's coup

Article Abstract:

Cambodia's tenuous economic revival may be jeopardized by Hun Sen's coup, with some foreign investors and aid donors, re-evaluating their projects. The country was starting to recover after its 20 years of civil war and foreign investors were attracted by its cheap labour, tourism potential and low taxes. Those foreign investors that have remained in Cambodia, believe however, that Hun Sen's seizure of power will make business operations in the country easier.

all for one: security forum agrees on Cambodia mediation

Article Abstract:

The Cambodian coup dominated the Kuala Lumpur meetings of the Asean Regional Forum on security. Ministers supported Asean's attempts to resolve the crisis, but it is uncertain what type of mediation would be accepted by Hun Sen, who ousted first prime minister Prince Norodom Ranariddh. Most participants want Hung Sen to maintain a coalition government, including Ranariddh's royalist Funcinpec party. There was no common stand reached on Burma at the meetings.
