Foreign Economic Policy:
The Royal Government adopts external economic policies in line with the liberalization of international trade, and the integration of the national economy into the world economy. Through this policy, Cambodia prepares itself to attract and to compete regionally and globally in the process of economic internationalization. The pressure of the integration process into the regional economy, in which Cambodia expects to join ASEAN and the World Trade Organization (WTO) in the near future, will add more burden to the national budget through the fall of tax revenue and import duties. These financial activities will no doubt change the economic structure of Cambodia but the Royal Government is optimistic and is prepared to amend its laws and practices to accommodate the economic integration.
