Even though this is a big success it is also a very fragile success. Many Cambodians who managed to escape poverty only have done just barely. There is a great risk that many of them will fall back into poverty as the price of food is only expected to rise. According to another World Bank report only a 1,200 Riel inflationary increase, which is about $0.30, per day could throw approximately three million Cambodians back into poverty, doubling the poverty rate to 40%.
